EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, hailing from the annals of German history and culture, depicts the renowned composer Richard Wagner and his son, Siegfried, in an enchanting and humorous reinterpretation of the epic Nibelungen story. Set against the backdrop of the vibrant city of Leipzig in 1883, this whimsical scene finds the father-son duo embarking on a fantastical quest to slay the Critic Dragon and claim the treasure it was guarding. Richard Wagner, with his distinctive beard and intense gaze, wields a mighty sword, ready to strike at the fearsome dragon perched atop a tree. His son, Siegfried, a youthful and energetic figure, stands by his side, brandishing a cartoonishly large money bag and a bird as a makeshift weapon. The dragon, with its menacing scales and fiery breath, seems to be taken aback by their unconventional approach. The woodbird, a symbol of wisdom and guidance in the original Nibelungen story, hovers above the scene, observing the unfolding events with a knowing smile. This playful twist on the classic tale highlights the power of creativity, ingenuity, and the triumph of the human spirit over criticism and adversity. This charming print, created in 1813, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Wagner's legacy and the rich history of German folklore. With its vibrant colors, intricate details, and delightful sense of humor, it is a must-have for any collector of historical, artistic, or musical memorabilia.
