| description | This article analyzes the painting Nordisk offerscene fra den Odinske periode (Nordic sacrificial scene from the period of Odin), created by the Danish painter Johan Ludvig Gebhard Lund (1777-1867) in 1831 and which presents a theme regarding Old Norse religion and the Vikings. We have made use of Ernest Gombrich's schemata theory and the studies of reception by Margaret Clunies Ross. Our main perspective is that Lund's work was related to both Danish nationalist romanticism and to a perspective of history and art in which the ancient religious forms and idealized representations of the Vikings played a major role in shaping social and cultural identities of his time. |

O presente artigo analisa a obra Nordisk offerscene fra den Odinske periode (Cena sacrificial nórdica do período odínico) do pintor dinamarquês Johan Ludvig Gebhard Lund (1777-1867), executada em 1831, tendo como tema a religião nórdica antiga e os Vikings. Empregamos como teorias a schemata de Ernest Gombrich e estudos de recepção de Margaret Clunies Ross. Nossa principal perspectiva é a de que a obra de Lund esteve relacionada tanto ao romantismo nacionalista dinamarquês quanto a uma perspectiva de história e arte onde as antigas formas religiosas e as representações idealizadas dos Vikings ocupavam um papel primordial para a formação de identidades sociais e culturais de sua época.
