EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Fafner, the giant deity from Norse mythology, calls out to someone in this lithograph titled 'Fafner: Hey! Come hither, And stop me this cranny!' created by British artist Arthur Rackham in 1910. The illustration is part of his work for 'The Rhinegold and the Valkyrie, ' an opera from Richard Wagner's famous four-opera cycle called 'Der Ring des Nibelungen. ' In this scene, Fafner's brother Fasolt has fallen deeply in love with Freia, a goddess who possesses great beauty. However, tempted by the offer of the Tarnhelm and gold as compensation for her loss, Fasolt cannot resist giving up Freia to secure these treasures. Rackham's intricate use of color brings life to this legendary moment where myth meets reality. His attention to detail captures the essence of Germanic folklore and creates a sense of awe and wonder within viewers. This lithograph belongs to a private collection but remains an important piece that showcases Rackham's talent for illustrating mythical tales. It serves as a reminder of Wilhelm Richard Wagner's epic opera and its enduring influence on art throughout the 20th century. "
