Arthur Rackham Dragon Canvas Print 1911.
Fafnir the dragon, from Norse mythology.
Arthur Rackham (19 September 1867 – 6 September 1939) was an English book illustrator. He is recognised as one of the leading literary figures during the Golden Age of British book illustration. His work is noted for its robust pen and ink drawings, which were combined with the use of watercolour, a technique he developed due to his background as a journalistic illustrator.
One of the greatest heroes in Norse mythology is Siegfried, and perhaps the greatest telling of his story is in Richard Wagner’s “The Ring of the Nibelung” opera.
In Norse mythology, Fáfnir is a son of the dwarf king Hreidmar and brother of Regin, Ótr, Lyngheiðr, and Lofnheiðr.
After being affected by the curse of Andvari's ring and gold, Fafnir became a dragon and was slain by Siegfried.
Said to be the inspiration behind Tolkiens The Hobbit, and Smaug the dragon.
Arthur Rackham Quotes:
"Like the sundial, my paint box counts no hours but sunny ones."
"For children in their most impressionable years, there is, in fantasy, the highest of stimulating and educational powers."
