EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration from 1910, titled "Appear, flickering fire, Encircle the rock with thy flame! Loge! Loge! Appear!", transports us into the mythical world of Norse mythology. Created by renowned British artist Arthur Rackham, this lithograph is a scene taken from Richard Wagner's opera "The Rhinegold and the Valkyrie". In this dramatic moment, Wotan, the commanding deity of Germanic legend, summons Loge, the God of Fire. The purpose behind this summoning is to encircle Brunnhilde on top of a mountain with a ring of magic fire. As we gaze at the print, we can almost feel the intensity and power emanating from both Wotan and Loge. Rackham's use of color adds depth to this legendary tale. The vibrant flames flicker around an ancient rock formation while Brunnhilde lies captive in her slumber. This image captures not only the action but also conveys a sense of mysticism that surrounds Norse mythology. As part of Rackham's illustrious career as an illustrator during Britain's early 20th century artistic movement, he brings life to Wagner's epic opera through his intricate details and masterful technique. This particular piece showcases his ability to transport viewers into fantastical realms filled with gods and goddesses. Preserved in a private collection today as part of historical graphica artwork collection, this print serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries when it comes to capturing religious or mythological stories for entertainment purposes.
