EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the world of Richard Wagner's epic opera, "Siegfried," the hero, armed with the enchanted sword Notung, confronts the fearsome dragon Fafner. Transformed into a dragon as a result of his own deceit, Fafner lies in wait, guarding the coveted treasure, the Ring of Power. With determination etched on his face and the gleaming sword in hand, Siegfried charges forward, ready to confront the beast and claim his destiny. The year is 1903, and this stunning image captures the intensity and drama of the scene as it unfolds on stage. The intricate details of the print bring the legend to life, with the fiery breath of the dragon illuminated against the dark background, and the hero's muscular form poised for battle. The magic sword Notung, with its distinctive cross-guard, glows with an ethereal light, adding an otherworldly quality to the scene. This print is a testament to the enduring power of Wagner's music and storytelling, and the timeless appeal of the hero's journey. The legend of Siegfried and Fafner, passed down through generations, continues to captivate audiences and inspire artists, as they bear witness to the triumph of courage and determination over darkness and deceit.
