Walter Crane, a prominent figure in the Arts and Crafts Movement, created "Study for the Panel The Viking's Bride, From The Frieze Decoration The Skeleton In Armour" as part of his extensive oeuvre that often drew upon historical and mythological themes. Crane, born in 1845 and active until his death in 1915, was an English artist and book illustrator known for his contributions to children's literature and his role in the aesthetic and socialist movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

"The Viking's Bride" is a preparatory study for a larger frieze decoration titled "The Skeleton in Armour," which showcases Crane's fascination with Norse mythology and medieval romanticism. This work exemplifies his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to blend narrative content with decorative elements, a hallmark of his style. The frieze itself is inspired by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem "The Skeleton in Armour," which tells the story of a Viking warrior who elopes with his beloved, only to meet a tragic end.

Crane's study captures the essence of the Viking age, with its intricate depiction of period-specific attire and the somber, yet romantic, atmosphere that pervades the narrative. The artist's use of line and form in this preparatory work demonstrates his skill in composition and his deep understanding of the historical and cultural contexts he sought to portray.

As with many of Crane's works, "The Viking's Bride" reflects his commitment to the principles of the Arts and Crafts Movement, emphasizing handcrafted quality and the integration of art into everyday life. This study not only serves as a testament to Crane's artistic prowess but also provides insight into the creative process behind his larger, more elaborate compositions. Through works like this, Walter Crane has left an indelible mark on the world of art and illustration, influencing generations of artists and continuing to be celebrated for his contributions to visual storytelling.
