"Thor Battering the Midgard Serpent" is a renowned painting by Swiss artist Johann Heinrich Füssli, also known as Henry Fuseli, who was active during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This work is a dramatic representation of a scene from Norse mythology, depicting the god Thor in the midst of his legendary battle with Jörmungandr, the Midgard Serpent. The painting is a testament to Fuseli's fascination with the supernatural and his ability to convey intense emotion and dynamic movement on canvas.

Completed in 1790, the painting showcases Fuseli's signature Romantic style, characterized by its theatrical lighting, energetic composition, and emotional intensity. The artwork captures the moment when Thor, wielding his mighty hammer Mjölnir, strikes at the enormous serpent that encircles the world, according to myth. The serpent, coiling and writhing in response to Thor's aggression, embodies the chaos and danger of the natural world, while Thor represents the heroic struggle against such forces.

Fuseli's use of stark contrasts between light and shadow, along with the exaggerated musculature of Thor and the sinuous form of the serpent, create a sense of epic struggle and highlight the artist's skill in rendering mythological subjects. The painting is not only an example of Fuseli's mastery of oil painting but also reflects the broader Romantic movement's preoccupation with heroism, the sublime, and the exploration of human emotion in the face of overwhelming natural forces.

"Thor Battering the Midgard Serpent" is considered one of Fuseli's important contributions to Romantic art and continues to be studied for its innovative approach to mythological themes and its influence on subsequent generations of artists. The painting is held in high regard for its powerful visual narrative and remains a significant work within the oeuvre of Johann Heinrich Füssli.
