a tableau of valkyries.
Ride Of The Valkyries painted by Jose Luis Munoz Luque. The casual realist fantasy of this is a nice contrast to the frenzied skyward ride we nearly always see the battlemaidens depicted in. And there's some album cover that never was with Michael Parkes aesthetics and detailing that also frames this piece. # # # Guillermo Maytorena IV knew there was something special in the Norse Lore when he picked up a copy of the d'Aulaires' Norse Gods and Giants at age seven. Since t hen he's been fascinated by the truthful potency of Norse Mythology, passionately read & studied, embraced Ásatrú, launched the Map of Midgard project, and spearheaded the neologism/brand NorsePlay.
