"Valkyrie" is a notable painting by the British artist Anthony Frederick Sandys, who was an influential figure in the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Created in 1868, this work exemplifies Sandys' meticulous attention to detail and his fascination with mythological and literary subjects. The painting portrays a Valkyrie, a figure from Norse mythology known for choosing those who may die and those who may live in battles. These warrior maidens would escort the souls of the bravest warriors to Valhalla, the hall of the slain, ruled by the god Odin.

Sandys' "Valkyrie" is celebrated for its striking composition and the artist's masterful use of color and texture. The figure of the Valkyrie is depicted with a serene yet commanding presence, embodying both the ethereal and the formidable aspects of these mythic beings. Her attire is intricately detailed, with elements that suggest both her divine nature and her warrior role. The background of the painting, though less detailed, complements the central figure, enhancing the overall impact of the work.

Anthony Frederick Sandys was known for his association with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of English painters, poets, and critics founded in 1848. The Brotherhood sought to return to the detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art. Sandys, although not an official member, was closely aligned with their ideals and produced works that reflected their influence. His "Valkyrie" stands as a testament to his skill and his ability to blend mythological themes with the Pre-Raphaelite aesthetic.

The painting is also significant for its reflection of Victorian interest in medievalism and mythology, themes that were prevalent in the art and literature of the time. "Valkyrie" by Anthony Frederick Sandys remains an important work within the canon of Pre-Raphaelite art, admired for its beauty, craftsmanship, and the depth of its mythological resonance.
