EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "O wife betrayed I will avenge thy trust deceived!" captures a pivotal moment from Siegfried and the Twilight of the Gods, beautifully illustrated by Arthur Rackham. In this intense scene, Brunnhilde, adorned in her valkyrie armor and cloak, is consumed by anger and sorrow as she contemplates Siegfried's alleged betrayal. As the heroine of this legendary tale, Brunnhilde firmly believes that Siegfried intentionally deceived her by taking the ring and orchestrating Gunther's marriage to her. Her piercing gaze reflects not only her fury but also her determination to seek revenge for this perceived act of treachery. This artwork draws inspiration from Norse mythology and Richard Wagner's epic opera cycle, The Ring of the Nibelung. It showcases Rackham's exceptional talent in capturing emotions through his intricate use of color lithography. The image portrays a clash between love and rage, loyalty and deceit. Brunnhilde stands tall as a warrior with an air of defiance surrounding her. This powerful depiction resonates with viewers who are familiar with the story or appreciate its themes centered around human flaws such as betrayal and vengeance. Rackham masterfully brings these complex characters to life through his artistic interpretation, allowing us to delve into their world filled with mythological grandeur. This print serves as a testament to both Rackham's skillful craftsmanship and our enduring fascination with timeless tales like those found within The Ring Cycle.
