On a 22-metre-long rock face in Tanum, Sweden, is one of the Bronze Age's most fascinating petroglyphs – The Loving Couple (or the Bride and Groom) from Vitlycke. The carving shows a man and a woman closely entwined, possibly in a wedding ceremony. Some interpret it as a fertility ritual, while others see divine figures or political symbols in the scene. Regardless of interpretation, the couple is part of a larger narrative about the complex worldview of the Bronze Age. My illustration of this iconic couple pays tribute to this rich cultural heritage of Vitlycke.
If you are looking for more information about the petroglyphs and the place, you can read about it on my blog, where I delve deeper into the beautiful art of the past:
