EDITORS COMMENTS
Siegfried, the valiant hero of Germanic legend, embarks on a daring quest for adventure in this 1924 illustration by Arthur Rackham. The scene captures a poignant moment from Richard Wagner's opera 'Siegfried and the Twilight of the Gods', as Siegfried bids farewell to his beloved Brunnhilde. Dressed in resplendent armor and accompanied by his loyal horse, Siegfried stands at the precipice of a majestic mountain peak. With determination etched upon his face, he gazes into the distance, ready to conquer new challenges that lie ahead. Meanwhile, Brunnhilde watches him depart with bittersweet longing. Her love for Siegfried remains unwavering even as she witnesses him venture into unknown territories. Rackham's masterful use of color brings this mythical landscape to life - vibrant greens and blues contrast against rocky cliffs and swirling clouds above. The lithograph showcases both the artist's skillful attention to detail and his ability to evoke emotion through imagery. This artwork not only embodies heroic heroism but also symbolizes themes of love, sacrifice, and destiny found within Norse mythology. It serves as a visual testament to Wagner's epic tale while capturing the essence of an era marked by war and turmoil. Preserved in a private collection today, this print continues to captivate viewers with its timeless portrayal of bravery and devotion.
