"I flee for the first time and am pursued Warfather follows close. He nears, he nears, in fury Save this woman Sisters, your help, from The Rhinegold and the Valkyrie, 1910" is an evocative illustration by the renowned British artist Arthur Rackham. This work is part of Rackham's celebrated series of illustrations for Richard Wagner's epic operatic cycle, "Der Ring des Nibelungen" (The Ring of the Nibelung), specifically focusing on the first two operas, "Das Rheingold" (The Rhinegold) and "Die Walküre" (The Valkyrie). Published in 1910, Rackham's illustrations are widely acclaimed for their intricate detail, dramatic intensity, and ability to capture the mythic and fantastical elements of Wagner's music dramas.

Arthur Rackham (1867-1939) was a leading figure in the Golden Age of British book illustration, a period roughly spanning from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. His distinctive style, characterized by fluid lines, rich textures, and a masterful use of color, brought to life many classic works of literature and mythology. Rackham's illustrations for "The Ring of the Nibelung" are particularly notable for their ability to convey the grandeur and complexity of Wagner's operas, which are based on ancient Germanic and Norse myths.

The specific illustration in question depicts a moment of high drama and tension. The title itself suggests a scene of desperate flight and imminent danger, with a female figure seeking the aid of her sisters to escape the wrath of a pursuing warfather. This imagery is consistent with the themes of heroism, divine intervention, and familial bonds that permeate Wagner's operatic narrative.

Rackham's work on "The Ring of the Nibelung" remains a significant contribution to the visual interpretation of Wagner's operas. His ability to translate the powerful emotions and epic scope of the music into visual form has left a lasting legacy in both the fields of illustration and opera. The 1910 edition of "The Rhinegold and the Valkyrie" continues to be celebrated for its artistic excellence and its role in bringing Wagner's monumental work to a broader audience.
