About the piece
Created in 1865 by Peter Nicolai Arbo, this iconic painting captures the fierce majesty of a Valkyrie. Clad in chainmail and a billowing blue cloak, the warrior maiden brandishes a spear while guiding her dark steed through a turbulent, golden-hued sky. The inclusion of ravens and the distant silhouettes of other riders emphasizes the mythic, high-stakes atmosphere of the battlefield in the heavens.
