About This Item
1911 Siegfried 1ed Twilight of the gods Wagner Rackham ART Ring Niblung Norse
A Richard Wagner's "Der Ring des Nibelungen" (or "The Ring of the Niblung") was a landmark work in the history of music. It was a collection of four large-scale operas that created a cycle of works which would in-turn be called the "Ring Cycle". The story loosely follows characters of Norse mythology and was a major influence on J.R.R. Tolkien's masterpiece trilogy, "The Lord of the Rings."
This fine printing was illustrated by the famous Arthur Rackham. This volume contains the final two movements of the work – "Siegfried" and "The Twilight of the Gods" translated by Margaret Armour. The color illustrations are classic Rackham style and feature trolls, beasts, magic spells, and more in a very dark and sinister fantasy style. In fact, these illustrations are often collected, printed, and sold as a collection of prints without the text!
