EDITORS COMMENTS
This German Christmas card, a vibrant colour lithograph from the 20th century, showcases a unique blend of folklore and holiday greetings. In this intriguing image held in a private collection, we see Krampus, a mythical creature known for his mischievous nature during the festive season. With an enigmatic smile on his face, Krampus holds a young woman around her waist while extending his warm wishes to all recipients. The legend inscribed on this card reads "Greetings from Krampus" adding an element of mystery and excitement to the scene. As we delve into German culture and traditions, it becomes evident that Krampus is deeply rooted in their folklore as both feared and respected figure. This artwork offers us a glimpse into North Germany's rich heritage and its connection to Germanic mythology. It serves as a reminder of how diverse European cultures celebrate Christmas with their own distinct customs. As we appreciate this remarkable print captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us embrace the spirit of curiosity and exploration that art evokes within us. This enchanting depiction invites us to delve deeper into the fascinating world of German Christmas traditions while celebrating the diversity that unites Europe under one banner - the European Union.
