EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph print showcases the powerful figure of Wotan, also known as Odin, the revered god of wisdom, poetry, and war in Germanic mythology. The image is taken from a Liebig trade card dating back to around 1900 and was created as an illustration for Richard Wagner's opera Die Walkure. In this scene, located at the top left corner of the print, we see Brunhilder, Wotan's daughter and foremost among the Valkyries. With her strength and grace, she carries a wounded warrior towards Valhalla - the hall of fallen heroes where they will find eternal rest. This depiction perfectly captures both the mythical elements and dramatic essence present in Wagner's music. Wagner's opera Die Walkure delves into Saxon and Viking lore while exploring themes of love, betrayal, destiny, and redemption. Through his masterful storytelling combined with rich orchestration, he brings to life characters like Wotan who embody both divine power and human flaws. This stunning artwork not only pays homage to Norse mythology but also highlights Wagner's profound influence on German music during his time. It serves as a visual testament to the enduring legacy of these ancient tales that continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
