EDITORS COMMENTS

This exquisite piece, part of a private collection, takes us on a journey through German folklore and traditional tales. Drawing inspiration from Wagner's "The Valkyrie" this artwork transports us to the middle ages, immersing us in the realm of paganism and Norse mythology. The central figure of Odin, also known as Wotan, bids his farewell amidst an enchanting display of magic fire. The painting beautifully captures the essence of ancient sagas such as Edda and Nibelungenlied. With meticulous attention to detail, Hendrich skillfully portrays the rich history of Germany through oil on wood. The composition exudes allegory and literature while evoking imagery from German mythology. It serves as a visual representation of epic stories like Sigurd and Siegfried intertwined with elements from Viking age sagas. This remarkable artwork not only pays homage to Richard Wagner's "Ring des Nibelungen" but also delves into themes surrounding valkyries, pagan beliefs, and medieval times. Through its vibrant colors and masterful execution, it invites viewers to explore the depths of German history. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print by Hermann Hendrich, we are reminded once again why fine art images have an enduring power - they transport us across time and space while preserving cultural heritage for generations to come.
