"Brage" is an 1854 illustration by H.C. Henneberg, depicting the Norse god of poetry, Brage. The black and white engraving shows Brage seated on a stool, holding a lyre, likely referencing his role in Norse mythology as the keeper of knowledge and the source of inspiration for poets. The artwork, part of a series for Fabricius's "Danmarks historie," highlights the artist's skill in creating detailed and realistic depictions of historical figures and Norse mythology, capturing the essence of the god Brage. "Brage" is currently located at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
