The Valkyrie's Vigil

Artist: Edward Robert Hughes (British, 1851-1914)

Date: 1906

Medium: Watercolour and gold paint on Whatman paper

Collection: The Leicester Art Galleries, London

Description

Edward Robert Hughes was a notable and respected figure amongst the second generation of Pre-Raphaelite artists. Hughes, with a number of his contemporaries, was influenced by and continued to practice the painting techniques pioneered in the middle of the century by members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood; he, like Millais and Holman Hunt, was concerned with qualities of minute realism and bright colour. Hughes maintained these traditions, along with a fondness for romantic and symbolical subjects, well into the Twentieth Century.

The present watercolour is imbued with an extraordinary and phantasmagoric character, and may be seen as an Edwardian contribution to European Symbolism. Its subject The Valkyrie’s Vigil shows one of Odin’s war-maidens who, in Scandinavian mythology, hovered over battlefields selected those warriors who were to die and conducted them to Valhalla. Hughes was certainly influenced in his choice of subject, which he returned to on several occasions, by Richard Wagner’s Die Walkure, the second opera of The Ring, which had been first performed in London in 1882.

Monika Light Academia Stimboard, Event Request for Anon

Note; And so the wheel chooses a stimboard! As always, this was fun to make. There always feels like there's a bit of a limit on how many suitable light academia stims, so it took a bit 2 find everything for this, but I think it turned out well! :3

Thank you for the request, and I hope you like this :D I went for both color-based things and things related to the video itself, but I still tried to vaguely base everything on the general theming and story ^^

I really liked this animation and this artist, the colors they use are gorgeous and I have no idea how they make the lineless artstyle work so well, especially in animation...this was a fun one to do :3
