                 "Battle of Fýrisvellir - The arrival of the JomsViking Army" by Leon Goodman

 

 

This stunning painting which is the first painting in a new series of 3 paintings capturing the incredible Viking story of the the Battle of Fýrisvellir  980 a.d
 
Styrbjörn the Strong suspects his father has been killed by his Uncle King Eric of Sweden. Styrbjörn was the ruler of the Jomsvikings but wanted to amass an even greater force in order to take the crown of Sweden, which the Swedish Thing had denied him on his father's death, a death of poisoning of which he suspected his uncle Eric. Styrbjörn's method was to pillage everywhere in Denmark with his band of blue-toothed mercenary fighters the Jomsvikings. This he did until King Harald Bluetooth asked for a settlement!!!! Harald gave Styrbjörn his daughter Tyra and Styrbjörn went away, but he then returned to Denmark with 1000 Viking lonships !!! He forced the Danes to give him 200 ships and whoever among them he saw fit to take with him, including the king himself.
 
 
He then set sail for Sweden with his armada of longships.

 

 

 

When Eric learnt that the navy had entered Malaren, he sent the fiery cross (a call to arms)  in all directions and amassed a large army!! Eric then put stakes in the waterway which led to Uppsala. When Styrbjörn's navy arrived and saw that they could not sail further, Styrbjörn vowed never to leave Sweden, but to win or die. In order to encourage his men to fight to the death, he set the ships on fire. King Harald Bluetooth, however, did not want to take part in this and left with the Danish navy.

 Leon Goodman has been a professional artist for the majority of his working life. His work has been sold at The Omell Gallery, Ascot, as well as Christies, the fine art auction house in London. Many of his works have sold for thousands of pounds to the U.S.A. Since seeing his work, Risborough Art Gallery have made him a regularly featured artist. Leon’s philosophy is that it is not the delineation of the subject which is important, but its fragmentation. He believes a strictly photographic image does not allow the viewer to participate in the painting. If the image is fragmented, the viewer can imagine for himself the missing parts and involve himself in the creation of the whole image. The viewer has seen his own interpretation of the fragmented images; the next viewer may see something different.
