About the piece
Painted in 1880 by August Malmström, this work illustrates a poignant scene from Frithiof's Saga, a cornerstone of Swedish Romantic literature. The composition centers on the aging King Bele and his friend Thorsten Vikingsson as they impart wisdom to their sons in a shadow-filled Viking hall, captured with a masterfully moody and reverent tone.
