Odin


Fogelberg went to Norse mythology for the inspriration for Odin from 1830.
I'm showing the amazing detail of the fabric and well formed legs below.

  3. I would say that the detail of the fabric is more of individual links of chain mail worn by Vikings, who did have the incredible capability of creating chain mail that wasn’t just made by Europeans and taken off the bodies of their defeated foes… The fact that the artist/sculptor had the talent and the patience of his skill to be able to render all those individual links, as well as the folds of the fabric, and the muscle tone of the body, shows the superior talent of this artist…

    1. I didn't notice that it was chain mail, but you are quite correct.
