The Ride of the Valkyries, 1910
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Arthur Rackham captures a thrilling moment from Norse mythology. In this vivid lithograph, taken from "The Rhinegold and the Valkyrie" we witness the valiant Valkyries fleeing in haste from Wotan's wrath at Brunnhilde's misdemeanour. The renowned British artist, Arthur Rackham, brings to life this legendary scene with his masterful use of color and detail. Mounted on majestic horses, these divine warrior maidens are depicted mid-flight as they navigate through a breathtaking landscape. With spears in hand and determination in their eyes, they embody both power and grace. Their flight symbolizes their role as messengers of war who select fallen heroes to join Odin's army. Rackham's illustration not only showcases his artistic brilliance but also pays homage to Richard Wagner's opera "Die Walkure". This iconic piece perfectly captures the essence of Germanic mythological tales that have captivated audiences for centuries. This rare print is part of a private collection belonging to Historica Graphica Collection. It serves as a reminder of the enduring fascination with mythology and religion throughout history. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported into an epic world where gods clash and legends unfold.
