ART GALLERY \ Translated from French \ In my city, after the recent unexplained death by drowning of Samy, a young student of 18 years and the chagrin of his father that I had the opportunity to mingle and enjoy for her great empathy, I decided to paint this canvas in the “philhelmien” style, you start to know, and this, in one theme that I kept rune long in my possession. Around the year 1000 in Sweden at Tibble in the region of Uppland, a father in despair after the death of his son made by burning some Livsten, gravestone of 1.50m by 1m 50 ( 59,06 x 59,06 inches) with registration rune as you can read it on my table, and this, in the greatest fidelity. Phonetic reading from top left reads: "frysten + lit + arka + sten + Rfti + estulfr + sun sin + yk + Brukera”. The most accepted interpretation is that of Fernand Mossé (1892-1956) Professor at the College de France, a leading specialist in ancient Anglo-Saxon literature. "Freysteinn was cut (this) stone – in Remember Eistulf his son and – he made build (a) bridge. » Livsten, the stone engraver was also known to have burned a dozen stones in this unique style of circles surrounding fantastic beasts. It should be noted that most of these stones were also often painted in bright colors
several of them very slight traces of color are still visible! (As most of the statues of our cathedrals and churches in the Middle Ages, but you already knew it!) Initially, I interpreted the death by drowning Eistulf since his father had decided to build a bridge in those countries where rivers and peninsulas are numerous. The truth seems to be quite different: The vast majority of Swedish runic inscriptions dating back to XI century. The parents of the great Vikings leaders were the Vikings who died far from home were putting up stones to their memory, on which were engraved the runes inside of a snake richly decorated and painted on the occasion. Svealand specifically in the province of Uppland, (and very few in Denmark and Norway even less), we discover the presence of a fantastic animal or quadruped dragon fighting with one or several snakes, which could symbolize the struggle between the new Christian religion and the old religion dedicated to the god Odin.
