Hammar retrieval I. Thor's awakening 1865

"Hammar retrieval I. Thor's awakening" is a black and white illustration created by Norwegian artist Mårten Eskil Winge in 1865. It depicts a scene from Norse mythology in which the god Thor, who has been tricked by a giant, wakes up and realizes he has lost his hammer. The scene is rendered in a realistic style, and the figures are drawn with great detail. Thor's facial expression is one of frustration and anger, which captures the moment he begins to realize the extent of the giant's trickery. This illustration is a compelling example of Winge's skill in capturing the drama and power of Norse mythology.
