Odin and Sleipnir 1911

"Odin and Sleipnir" is a 1911 illustration by Swedish artist John Bauer, depicting the Norse god Odin riding his eight-legged horse Sleipnir. The black and white illustration is reminiscent of Bauer’s distinct style, influenced by symbolism and Art Nouveau. The image showcases the dynamic movement of Sleipnir galloping across a dark landscape, with Odin firmly seated on the horse’s back. The artist's depiction of the mythical creatures captures the essence of Norse mythology, and is considered a significant piece in Bauer’s artistic legacy.
