Scene from Ragnarok 1865 - 1868

"Scene from Ragnarok" is a pencil drawing by Danish artist L.A. Schou, created between 1865 and 1868, just a few years before his untimely death in 1867. This dramatic work depicts a scene from Norse mythology, specifically the cataclysmic event of Ragnarok. Schou's depiction of the Norse apocalypse is characterized by the chaos and destruction that marked the end of the world, and shows the figures of gods and giants locked in battle. The artwork is housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark.
