EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this enchanting illustration from Arthur Rackham's 1910 masterpiece, "The Rhinegold and the Valkyrie" we are transported to a mythical realm beneath the surface of the River Rhine. The scene captures a pivotal moment in Richard Wagner's epic opera, "Der Ring des Nibelungen" where three alluring water nymphs known as the Rhinemaidens playfully taunt Alberich, a mischievous dwarf. As sunlight dances through the crystal-clear waters, these ethereal beings with flowing hair and radiant smiles surround Alberich. With their seductive charm and captivating voices, they tease him mercilessly while he desperately tries to win their affection. Their underwater ballet creates an atmosphere of both fantasy and romance. Alberich's long beard serves as a stark contrast against the delicate beauty of his aquatic companions.

Immerse yourself in this world where music meets myth, where love battles greed, and where water nymphs hold secrets that can
