EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Siegfried! Siegfried! Our warning is true: flee, oh flee from the curse!", we are transported into the mythical world of Richard Wagner's opera, Siegfried and The Twilight of the Gods. Painted by Arthur Rackham in 1910, this vibrant color lithograph captures a pivotal moment in the story. The image showcases three ethereal figures known as Rhine maidens who are desperately trying to warn Siegfried about an impending curse on a ring. With their flowing hair and graceful movements, they appear to be water nymphs emerging from the depths of a mystical river. Their outstretched arms and waving gestures convey urgency and desperation. Despite their warnings, Siegfried remains skeptical, his disbelief evident in his expression as he gazes upon them. This tension between belief and skepticism adds depth to the narrative unfolding before our eyes. Rackham's illustration beautifully brings to life Wagner's complex characters within Norse mythology. The attention to detail is remarkable; every ripple in the water and strand of hair is meticulously rendered with precision. As viewers, we find ourselves drawn into this enchanting scene where myth intertwines with reality. It serves as a reminder that even when faced with undeniable warnings, human nature can sometimes blind us from perceiving imminent danger. This stunning artwork not only pays homage to Wagner's masterpiece but also stands alone as a testament to Rackham's artistic prowess. It invites us to delve deeper into its rich symbolism while
