EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Representation of Crodon, 1656" takes us back to the enchanting world of pagan beliefs in the 17th century. Created by Anon and Herman Stangefol, this woodcut illustration is a remarkable depiction of the Saxon god Crodon. In this image, we see Crodon standing proudly on a fish, symbolizing his dominion over aquatic life. With a long flowing beard and majestic attire, he exudes an air of divine power. In one hand, he holds a bucket, perhaps representing abundance or fertility. The most intriguing element is the pierced dish he displays; its significance remains shrouded in mystery. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print - from the intricate patterns on Crodon's clothes and belt to the carefully etched lines that bring out his bearded face. It serves as a testament to both their artistic skill and their deep understanding of religious iconography. "Representation of Crodon" offers us a glimpse into an ancient belief system that once held sway over people's lives. As paganism gradually gave way to other religions during this period, images like these became increasingly rare. This print allows us to appreciate not only its historical value but also its artistic merit. Thanks to Ann Ronan Pictures for preserving this fascinating piece of history through their collection.
