The Rhine Fair Children, Bewailing Their Lost Gold, Weep
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph print created by the renowned British artist Arthur Rackham in 1910. This mesmerizing illustration originates from "The Rhinegold and the Valkyrie" part of Richard Wagner's epic opera cycle, "Der Ring des Nibelungen". In this enchanting scene, Rackham skillfully captures the despair and grief of the Rhinemaidens as they lament over the loss of their precious Rhinegold. The gods step into Walhalla and are moved by the haunting weeping sounds that echo through the air. Rackham's use of color brings life to this mythical moment; vibrant hues create an otherworldly atmosphere where gods and goddesses coexist with legendary creatures. The rainbow arching above symbolizes hope amidst sorrow, while water cascades down in shimmering waves, reflecting both sadness and beauty. This lithograph transports viewers into a realm steeped in Germanic folklore and Norse mythology. It evokes a sense of longing for lost treasures while exploring themes of religion, legend, and destiny. As part of the Historica Graphica Collection held privately today, this artwork showcases Rackham's exceptional talent for storytelling through visual art. It serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as one of Britain's most celebrated illustrators.
