The illustration, created in 1924 as a color lithograph, showcases Rackham's exceptional talent for bringing mythical tales to life. The scene depicted here is one of profound significance. Having broken Wotan's spear and crossed the ring of fire, Siegfried finally discovers Brunnhilde. As he removes her helmet, an overwhelming sense of awe and fear engulfs him for the first time. This momentous encounter between two legendary characters unfolds against a majestic mountain top backdrop. Rackham's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush. From Siegfried's mesmerized expression to Brunnhilde's enchanting presence, each element contributes to the overall magical atmosphere captured within this artwork. The use of vibrant colors adds depth and intensity to their emotions. This print not only pays homage to Richard Wagner's epic opera Der Ring des Nibelungen but also serves as a testament to Rackham's mastery as an illustrator. It transports viewers into a realm where Norse mythology intertwines with human emotion and heroism. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we can't help but feel drawn into its spellbinding narrative – our hearts fainting and failing just like
