EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Arthur Rackham, we are transported into the world of Wagner's epic opera "Siegfried and the Twilight of the Gods". Brunnhilde, the valkyrie heroine, is depicted in a moment of profound emotion as she kisses the ring left behind by her beloved Siegfried. The scene is filled with heartache and sorrow, as Siegfried has been poisoned with a love potion. As Brunnhilde contemplates her lover from afar, she finds solace in this symbolic act of affection towards the ring he gave her. The vibrant colors of Rackham's lithograph bring to life both the beauty and loneliness that permeate this mythical tale. The majestic mountains in the background serve as a reminder of their Norse mythology roots and add an element of grandeur to their tragic love story. Brunnhilde's rock stands tall amidst these breathtaking landscapes, symbolizing her strength and resilience even in moments of despair. Wagner's "Ring Cycle" explores themes such as power struggles, fate, and redemption through its complex characters. This particular illustration captures one fleeting yet poignant moment between two lovers caught in a web spun by gods and mortals alike. Rackham masterfully conveys not only the emotional depth but also pays homage to Wagner's musical genius through his intricate details. This print serves as a timeless tribute to both composer Richard Wagner and artist Arthur Rackham while allowing us to immerse ourselves in this timeless tale once more.
