Artwork description
Original acrylic painting of “Lygtemand”, on gessoed wooden panel, varnished with satin finish and framed wire for hanging on the back.
The Lantern Man is in appearance similar to a small man. Usually they are spotted around marshes and other swampy areas and appears around dusk and at night.
This creature would lure unsuspecting people into the deep part of the watery bog just to crush and drown them below.
The Lantern Man could entice with light that would make people feel like following, as it could often look like a torch or a lantern dancing in the night.
If you don’t want to get into trouble with a Lantern Man, don’t point at him, as that would only draw him closer to you.
Besides the drowning, some Lantern Men would be able to predict your fate and hand it over to you, if neither seems particularly interesting to you, then the Lantern Man can be scared away by showing it the inside of your hat or sock!
The Lantern Man belongs to the part of the folklore that are undead and it is said that it was often the farmers who moved the fence posts to steal more land that ended up like this.
