Henry Fuseli • Thor battering the Midgard Serpent, 1790

This mythological scene originates from the Icelandic sagas of the Edda, introduced to England through P. H. Mallet’s Northern Antiquities (1770). Fuseli portrays the tale of Thor rowing a boat alongside the giant Hymir, depicted as nervously cowering in the stern. Using an ox’s head as bait, Thor successfully hooks the Serpent of Midgard. In the top-left corner, the elderly figure of the god Odin is visible.

Fuseli amplifies the drama and grandeur of Thor’s epic battle with the menacing serpent as it emerges from the dark, shadowy background. Some have drawn comparisons between this struggle and contemporary events in France. As an ardent supporter of the French Revolution, Fuseli’s depiction of Thor’s fight could symbolize the French people’s struggle against the ancien régime.
