"Thor went forth against Jormungand" is an illustrative work by Charles Edmund Brock, a renowned English painter, illustrator, and sculptor, known for his distinctive contributions to the visual interpretation of literary and mythological subjects. This particular piece is part of Brock's exploration into Norse mythology, vividly bringing to life the epic confrontation between Thor, the Norse god of thunder, and Jormungand, the Midgard Serpent. The artwork captures a pivotal moment from the ancient mythological narratives, where Thor, one of the most powerful gods in Norse mythology, faces off against Jormungand, an immense serpent that encircles the world, in a battle prophesied to occur during Ragnarok, the end of the world in Norse mythology.

Charles Edmund Brock (1870–1938) was part of the Brock family of illustrators, which included his brothers H.M. Brock and R.H. Brock, who were also his contemporaries in the field of illustration. Charles Brock was particularly noted for his meticulous attention to detail, his adeptness with both line and color, and his ability to convey dramatic intensity and emotional depth in his works. His illustrations often graced the pages of luxury editions of classic literature, including works by Jane Austen and Charles Dickens, showcasing his versatility and command over a range of subjects and styles.

In "Thor went forth against Jormungand," Brock's mastery in illustration is evident in the dynamic composition and the intense, dramatic portrayal of the mythological event. The artwork not only serves as a visual representation of the legendary battle but also as a testament to Brock's skill in encapsulating the essence of Norse mythology's grandeur, heroism, and the inevitable tragedy of Ragnarok. Through his work, Brock contributes to the preservation and dissemination of Norse myths, offering viewers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of stories that have fascinated and inspired generations.

This piece, like many of Brock's works, would have been created during a period when there was a resurgence of interest in folklore, mythology, and classical literature in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Artists and illustrators of the time, including Brock, played a crucial role in visually interpreting these stories for contemporary audiences, thus ensuring their continued relevance and appeal. "Thor went forth against Jormungand" stands as a significant example of Brock's contribution to this artistic and cultural movement, embodying the power of illustration to bring mythological narratives to life and to bridge the past with the present.
