My good friend @the-tao-of-fandom told me the other day of the Tollund Man and introduced me to The Mountain Goat's song for him. He requested this photo collage, and I had a great time making it. The two landscape photos are of Bølling Sø, the bog where the Tollund Man was found (taken off google images). The two photos of the man himself are from National Geographic, and the two paintings are both by artist Niels Bach, and are from the website of the Silkeborg Museum, where the Tollund Man currently resides. For more info, that site is here.

It is the dead man’s lightly-closed eyes and half-closed lips, however, that give this unique face its distinctive expression, and call compellingly to mind the words of the world’s oldest heroic epic, Gilgamesh, ‘the dead and the sleeping, how they resemble one another’.

here is my tollund man painting. i have always been deeply intrigued by the bog body's that are scattered throughout europe's peat bogs so i painted this for one of my anthropology classes a few years back. here's some fun little facts about this guy! the tollund man was found in 1950 in denmark and for a short while it was thought he was a recent murder victim due to his more lively appearance. but, as it turns out he lived during the pre-roman iron age and was likely a human sacrifice. mr tollund man is on display at the silkeborg museum however, (if i remember correctly) his head is the only original part of him on display as his body is a replica.

Bog bodies! I love bog bodies. I was entranced by Tollund Man when I was young, and they still fascinate me.
