This print showcases George Frederick Watts' masterpiece, "Uldra, The Scandinavian Spirit of the Rainbow in the Waterfall" painted in 1884. Held at Watts Gallery in Guildford, Surrey, this oil on canvas portrait depicts a mesmerizing scene from Norse mythology. In this artwork, Uldra emerges as a powerful female figure amidst the cascading waters of a majestic waterfall. With her nudity symbolizing purity and vulnerability, she stands gracefully under a vibrant rainbow that arches over her ethereal form. This portrayal captures both the beauty of nature's elements and Uldra's connection to them. Watts' painting reflects his deep appreciation for literature and mythology prevalent during the late 19th century. Inspired by Scandinavian folklore and natural phenomena like waterfalls and rainbows, he skillfully brings together these elements to create an enchanting composition. The monochrome palette adds depth to Uldra's presence while emphasizing her mythical aura. Through careful brushstrokes and attention to detail, Watts immortalizes this divine spirit within his artwork. This print from Bibbys Annual 1917 offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate one person's interpretation of Norse mythology intertwined with nature's wonders.
