Aurora Borealis

It is said that Valkyries were messengers of the Viking god, Odin. When the beautiful maidens journeyed abroad on their winged horses, their luminous armor glistened and sparkled and brought forth the Aurora Borealis. In his painting, Denton has rendered a radiant maiden crowned by a jeweled rainbow of light and encircled by the majestic snow bears of the North. This arctic sanctuary presents a feeling of harmony, kinship, and warmth among the chosen subjects.
