Mjaðveig daughter of Máni

Illustration loosely based on an Icelandic tale called "Sagan af Mjaðveigu Mánadóttur" (with some huuuuge northern gannets).
Mjaðveig is the daughter of the king Máni. As the king just looses his wife, he sends messengers to find a new queen. His men travel a long time. Oneday, they hear some bewitching melody, played by a beautiful lady and her own daughter.
They bring them back to the kingdom, and the lady marries the king.
But as you may imagine, the new queen and her daughter won't be so well-intentioned towards Mjaðveig...

Watercolours and white ink on paper (24*32 cm)

“And we'll ride throughout the land on white horses"

I admit I can't say when exactly I painted that (quite big, for me) acrylic piece on canvas (50*70cm). 

I only remember I think I read Halldór Laxness "Iceland's Bell" between 2012 and 2013.
This depicts two of the main characters of the story, Arnas Arnaeus and Snæfríður Íslandssól
whose following quote -  “And we'll ride throughout the land on white horses", which in fact never happened - inspired me that painting. 




The scene takes place in the area around Þingvellir, Iceland.
