Valkyrie and a Dying Hero | Hans Makart | 19th Century

A valkyrie leans across a fallen warrior, supporting his head as her red cloak streams outward into the stormy landscape. Beside them, a white horse turns its head back toward the pair. Makart joins the figures through a sweeping movement of hair, fabric and pale limbs, setting their closeness against the broken light of the sky. Armour and weapons remain scattered around the warrior’s body. The grandeur of the mythological setting is concentrated in a gesture that is also recognisably tender.
