EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Arthur Rackham, we are transported to a mythical world as Brunnhilde leads her majestic horse by the bridle. This enchanting illustration was created for Richard Wagner's epic opera, "The Rhinegold and The Valkyrie" bringing to life the rich tapestry of Germanic mythology. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, Rackham's artwork captures the essence of pagan traditions and medieval folklore. The image evokes a sense of awe as we witness Brunnhilde, a valkyrie warrior maiden, embodying strength and grace while guiding her loyal steed through an ethereal landscape. As we delve into the realms of Norse mythology, we encounter familiar figures such as Thor and Odin alongside lesser-known characters like Hymir and Sigurd. These legends come alive in Wagner's operatic saga that explores themes of love, power, betrayal, and destiny. Rackham's mastery in book design is evident here with his skillful use of color lithography. Each stroke reveals his deep understanding of German history and literature. This particular print now resides in a private collection where it continues to captivate viewers with its allegorical beauty. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the enduring allure of ancient sagas like Nibelungenlied and Volsunga Saga that have shaped our understanding of Germanic mythology. It serves as a testament to both Rackham's artistic brilliance and Wagner's profound contribution to music-drama.
