Latest in a series of full color character portraits. This intricately detailed, dynamic portrait captures the power and grandeur of the adventurous Norseman. Viking activity started before AD 800. More than 2 centuries elapsed before it ceased. Vikings left their mark not only on western Europe, but also right through the Mediterranean from Gibraltar to Asia Minor, in what is now western Russia. Vikings were the first Europeans to discover and explore North America. Vineland the Good, they called it. What did the historical Norseman really look like? Well, pretty drab next to this fanciful, Viking King you can be sure. Oden himself would be proud! 19" X 26"
