EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "To my hammers swing Hitherward sweep Vapours and fogs! Hovering mists!" transports us into the realm of Norse mythology, where gods and legends come to life. Illustrated by Arthur Rackham in 1910, this vibrant lithograph from The Rhinegold and the Valkyrie captures a powerful moment as Donner, the god of thunder, summons his mighty hosts. In this scene, Donner's strength is palpable as he commands the mist to disperse with a swing of his hammer. The swirling vapors part ways before him, revealing an awe-inspiring display of force and authority. As one of the Gods in Richard Wagner's epic opera Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring Cycle), Donner embodies power and might. This image evokes a sense of grandeur and mystique associated with Viking culture and Norse mythology. It reminds us of ancient tales passed down through generations - stories that have shaped our understanding of gods, heroes, and mythical creatures.

As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported into a world where music meets myth - where
