EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a pivotal moment from Wagner's operas brought to life. The scene depicts the giants Fafner and Fasolt as they carry Freia away, her despair evident in her tear-streaked face. This powerful image is taken from "The Stories of Wagners Operas" by J. Walker McSpadden and beautifully rendered in color lithography by Ferdinand Leeke. As we delve into Norse mythology through Wagner's masterful compositions, we are transported to a world where gods and mortals intertwine. Here, the goddess Freia finds herself at the center of a fateful deal made by Odin, known as Wotan in these tales. Promising her hand to the giants in exchange for their labor on his behalf, Wotan must confront the consequences of his actions. The composition captures both the mythical grandeur and emotional depth that define Wagner's work. The anguish on Freia's face mirrors our own sense of helplessness as she is torn away from her rightful place among the gods. Meanwhile, Fafner and Fasolt stand tall with an air of triumph mixed with trepidation. This print serves as a visual reminder of Richard Wagner's enduring legacy as one of history's greatest composers. It invites us to explore themes such as love, sacrifice, and power through music that continues to resonate with audiences today.
