EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing artwork titled "Gold of the Rhine (Das Rheingold)" found in the esteemed Collection of State Hermitage, St. Petersburg. The image transports us to a world steeped in history and mythology, where Germany and France converge with pagan traditions and medieval folklore. Drawing inspiration from Viking sagas and Norse mythology, this graphic art piece beautifully captures the essence of Germanic legends. Symbolism abounds as Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, Odin's wisdom, and Valkyries' ethereal presence intertwine with themes of power, destiny, and sacrifice. Created by Henri (1836-1904), this lithographic masterpiece is an allegory for Richard Wagner's epic opera cycle "The Ring of Nibelung". It delves into German history through characters like Siegfried and Wotan while exploring concepts such as love, greed, heroism, and fate. As we gaze upon this fine art print brimming with intricate details reminiscent of the Middle Ages' aesthetic style known as Gothic Revival or Romanticism; we are transported to a mythical realm where gods clash with mortals over coveted treasures like the Rhine gold. With its rich historical context rooted in ancient texts like Nibelungenlied or Volsunga Saga alongside poetic Edda hymns; this artwork serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with mythologies that have shaped cultures throughout time. Displayed at State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg
