I Flee for the First Time and Am Pursued, 1910
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph by renowned artist Arthur Rackham. This stunning print captures a pivotal moment from Richard Wagner's opera "The Rhinegold and the Valkyrie" specifically the scene where Brunnhilde, one of the Valkyries, finds herself in grave danger. In this intense illustration, we witness Brunnhilde desperately fleeing from Warfather, who relentlessly pursues her with fury in his eyes. The vibrant colors used by Rackham bring to life the tension and urgency of this mythical chase. Brunnhilde's plea for help echoes through the image as she calls upon her sisters to come to her aid. Rackham's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush. He skillfully portrays both characters' emotions - fear etched on Brunnhilde's face while determination fuels Warfather's pursuit. The composition transports us into a world steeped in Norse mythology, where gods and goddesses clash amidst epic battles. This lithograph serves as a testament to Rackham's mastery of storytelling through art. It not only captures an iconic moment from Wagner's opera but also showcases Rackham's ability to breathe life into ancient legends. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the power that art holds in preserving cultural heritage and igniting our imagination.
