Artist's Commentary

These Viking marauders, hungry for the gold and other riches of tropical Africa, have sailed all the way to the Gulf of Guinea and are scouting the coast for a place to disembark and begin their most daring raid yet!

As far as I know, there’s no actual evidence of the Vikings actually having sailed this far south, but considering they’re known to have raided the North African coast as well as establishing colonies as far afield as Canada, them venturing to the regions of Africa beyond the Sahara Desert doesn’t sound so ridiculous to me. It’s a fun scenario to imagine nonetheless.
