Aparece, fogo trêmulo, cerca a rocha com tua chama!

1910

Arthur Rackham traz à vida aqui a ópera *A Valquíria* de Wagner, capturando o momento dramático em que o deus Wotan ordena que um anel de fogo circunde a Valquíria adormecida Brünnhilde. Quase se pode sentir o calor nas linhas espiraladas e semelhantes a chamas que envolvem a figura central, demonstrando o domínio de Rackham do estilo Art Nouveau com suas curvas fluidas e orgânicas. Como uma figura líder da «Era de Ouro da Ilustração», Rackham tinha um talento único para misturar o sinistro com o belo, tornando suas cenas mitológicas simultaneamente mágicas e ligeiramente perigosas.
