EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration from Arthur Rackham's "Siegfried and the Twilight of the Gods" transports us to a moment filled with intrigue and deception. In this scene, Siegfried hands back the drinking horn to Gutrune, his gaze suddenly ignited with passion. Hagen, cunningly suggesting to Gunther that Siegfried should marry Gutrune, poisons him with a love potion in order to make him forget about Brunnhilde. Rackham's masterful use of color brings this mythical tale to life as we witness the heroism and treachery unfold before our eyes. The artist skillfully captures the emotions of each character through their expressions and body language. Gutrune stands dressed in an elegant cloak while being deceived by Hagen's sinister plan. The lithograph showcases Rackham's exceptional talent for illustrating legends and myths, particularly Norse mythology. His attention to detail is evident in every stroke, creating a rich tapestry that draws viewers into this enchanting world. This print is part of a private collection but remains an important piece within 20th-century British art history. It serves as a reminder of Rackham's contribution not only as an illustrator but also as an entertainer who brought these timeless stories to life for generations.
