EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Die Nibelungen. Etzel and Kriemhild" a remarkable woodcut created by Alfred Rethel between 1840 and 1841. The artwork, now held in a private collection, beautifully captures the essence of Germanic mythology and folklore. Rethel's woodcut depicts the legendary characters from the ancient saga of the Nibelungs, specifically focusing on Etzel and Kriemhild. This powerful image transports viewers to a world steeped in Norse mythology, where gods like Odin (Wotan) reign supreme. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays scenes from this epic tale that has inspired countless works of literature, opera, ballet, and theatre throughout history. Richard Wagner himself drew inspiration from these sagas when composing his famous "Ring des Nibelungen" opera cycle. Through this woodcut, Rethel pays homage to both traditional Viking culture and the Nazarene movement prevalent during his time. The piece serves as an allegory for pagan beliefs intertwined with Christian symbolism. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are transported back to an age of heroes and mythical creatures—a testament to the enduring power of ancient legends that continue to captivate our imaginations today.
