Njal, Unique Blue Glass & Oak Unique Sculpture by Backhaus & Brown and Egeværk
Located in London, GB
'Njal' from the Glasskibe Collection is a unique glass and oak sculpture by the Danish and British artists, Backhaus & Brown and Egeværk.
The title explained by the artists;
"Njal is a Viking boy’s name that means giant. Viking names were often given special characteristics and bestowed strength and protection in life. We know the names of the Vikings from runic inscriptions and place names, among other things. Many of these names are specific to the Nordic countries".
The Danish town of Hundested is steeped in maritime history and richly from the Viking Age. It is the majestic imagery of the Viking ships passing that has inspired two of the harbour’s contemporary craft companies; cabinetmakers Egeværk and glass artists Backhaus & Brown. These two award-winning workshops have combined their masterful crafts in an innovative collaboration; namely a series of sculptures named ”Glasskibe” – Viking ships in hand-blown glass and carved oak.
Artworks from this collection have been sold to many private collectors but have also been purchased for the Vikingskipshuset, the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo and more recently, shown at the Danish Pavilion during the 2016 Olympics in Rio.
A unique collaboration in the truest sense, drawing on the skills of two crafts, based in two workshops and from two Nationalities, British and Danish.

The poetry of Dante Alighieri (1265-1321)
Beatrice Portinari, simply known as Beatrice or Beatrix, commonly refers to the muse of Dante Alighieri, whom he glorifies and loves. But she is also a woman whom, if one follows the New Life, Dante loved from his childhood, and to whom he dedicated a place in all his works.
More sensitive than all is the resolute amplification which, after the pathetic force and expressionist intensity of Hell, intensifies with the more elegiac and penetrating emotion of Purgatory and leads to the miraculous triumph of the imaginary in Paradise. Of the three «hymns», it is Hell which is the most known, the most popular one can say: the taste of the picturesque, spread by the romantic criticism, is much to it. Dante, however, had the conviction, repeatedly affirmed in his poem, that by rising from one kingdom to another, he raised his poetry each time by a level which made it worthy of an ever more «high» matter. At a distance of six and a half centuries, there is certainly no obligation to share this view, however assured it may be for the poet. Anyone, however, who wants to enter the world of the Comedy must refuse the scale, eliminatory in its consequences of fact, which puts such a section above the other or brings the Comedy to a rosary of episodes more or less «beautiful»
