Hello Gzus,

In my search for the print, I found out that the painting “Thor
against the Giants” is in the National Museum in Stockholm.

Thor and the Giants
M. E. Winge
Oil on canvas, 1890.
http://www.timelessmyths.com/norse/thor.html

I wrote to the Stockholm Museum asking if they knew where I could
purchase a print online. Sussi Wesstrom replied and asked if you were
going to reproduce the painting. I sent out another e-mail stating
that you were going to hang it in your home.

Today I received a reply from Sussi from the Stockholm Museum.

“You can rent a transparency from me, 250.00 SEK, and make your own
reproduction. Then you can decide the size and the quality.
Send your fax Number and you post address to me and I will fax a
contract to you.
Best Wishes
Sussi Wesström 
Picture Library/National Museum Stockholm 
Tel 8 5195 4332 
Fax 8 5195 4453”

Please note that I went by the name of Alicia in my correspondence
with Sussi. Here is Sussi Wesstrom’s e-mail ( SWM@nationalmuseum.se )

Gzus --

I've been unsuccessful in finding the Winge painting in print form,
though I've sent a query off to someone I know that runs an online art
website.  Winge's painting is also titled "Thor Battles the Jotuns"
and is in the National Museum in Stockholm, though the museum
apparently doesn't offer a post or print of it.  As you may know,
according to Norse myth Jotuns are giants who populated the earth
before people.

You can see the print at a variety of websites, including:
http://www.hammerofthorkindred.org/art.html

Google search strategy:
Winge + Thor

We'll get back to you if we can find a source!

Best regards,

Omnivorous-GA

Hi Gzus,
I e-mailed a museum the other day inquiring about the print.
They replied asking if you are going to reproduce the painting.
Please let me know in order to answer.
Thanks

No, I don't wish to reproduce it. I only want to hang it in my home.
