Der Wilde Jagde





The Wild Hunt, Franz Von Stuck, 1889.


This is a European tradition of demons, lost souls, or the dead in a wild ride that presages disaster, war, or plague.  Many Gods have been identified with this, but that is Wotan out front.  Does this remind anyone of someone who was born in 1889?






Food for thought.
