"Loke styrtes i afgrunden af Hother" (Loke is thrown into the abyss by Hother) is an oil painting by Danish artist F.L. Storch, completed between 1825 and 1826. The painting depicts a dramatic scene from Norse mythology, where the god Hother, armed with a spear, pushes the trickster god Loke towards a chasm. The dramatic composition and dynamic poses of the figures convey the intensity of the moment. This work exemplifies Storch's interest in depicting historical and mythological narratives, reflecting the Neoclassical style popular in the 19th century. This painting is part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
