British Ballad, Rudiger

RUDIGER. Ballad by Robert Southey (1774 - 1843) On the banks of the Rhine sits a palace. A boat or small barge makes toward the shore, drawn by a Swan and carrying an unknown soldier (Rudiger). He stays, marries and had a child with his wife. One night he takes the child into the night with the promised sacrifice of his first-born child. He is stopped by his wife when he reaches a cave before two large arms pull Rudiger into the darkness (to Hell?), never to be seen again. His wife and baby are safely left behind

EDITORS COMMENTS
A haunting scene from the British ballad "Rudiger" by Robert Southey (1774-1843) comes to life in this print. Set against the backdrop of a medieval palace on the banks of the Rhine, a small barge or boat makes its way towards the shore. The mysterious figure aboard, identified as Rudiger, is drawn by a graceful swan. Having settled down, Rudiger marries a maiden and starts a family. However, one fateful night, he takes his first-born child to the riverbank with the intention of sacrificing him to the gods, as a promise he had made long ago. As Rudiger reaches a cave before the river's edge, his wife, with a heart full of fear and love, intervenes. She pleads with her husband to reconsider, but he is pulled into the darkness by unseen hands. The image of two large arms reaching out from the shadows hints at a possible descent into Hell. With her child safely in her arms, the wife watches as her husband disappears, leaving her and their family behind. This evocative print, filled with historical and Germanic elements, transports us to a time long past. The melancholic ballad of Rudiger, penned by Robert Southey, is brought to life through the enchanting imagery of this print. The story of love, sacrifice, and the unknown, continues to captivate audiences and remains a significant piece of British literature.
