Aslaug 1862

"Aslaug" is a romantic painting by Norwegian artist Mårten Eskil Winge, completed in 1862. The painting depicts a scene from Norse mythology, portraying Aslaug, daughter of Sigurd the Dragon Slayer, seated on a rocky outcrop by the sea. Her bare form is draped with a fishing net, with a dog beside her. The painting evokes a sense of longing and vulnerability, as Aslaug gazes out towards the horizon. Winge's meticulous detailing of the figure and the landscape contributes to the painting's timeless appeal, drawing viewers into the mythological narrative.
