"Brunnhilde Implores the Valkyries" is a notable illustration by the renowned English artist Arthur Rackham, created for the 1910 edition of "The Rhinegold and the Valkyrie," which is the English translation of the first two operas in Richard Wagner's epic four-part cycle "Der Ring des Nibelungen" (The Ring of the Nibelung). Rackham, known for his distinctive style and contribution to the Golden Age of Illustration, brought Wagner's mythic world to life through a series of evocative images that have since become iconic in their own right.

This particular illustration captures a dramatic moment from "Die Walküre" (The Valkyrie), the second opera in the cycle. It depicts the character Brünnhilde, a Valkyrie and daughter of the god Wotan, as she pleads with her fellow Valkyries to defy their father's orders and protect the hero Siegmund. Rackham's work is characterized by its intricate detail, ethereal quality, and the interplay of light and shadow, which serve to enhance the emotional intensity and supernatural elements of the scene.

The 1910 edition of "The Rhinegold and the Valkyrie," featuring Rackham's illustrations, was published by William Heinemann in London and is considered a masterpiece of book illustration. Rackham's images for this edition contributed significantly to the visual interpretation of Wagner's operatic works and have had a lasting impact on the way audiences envision the characters and scenes of "The Ring of the Nibelung." The legacy of Rackham's illustrations endures, and "Brunnhilde Implores the Valkyries" remains a testament to his artistic achievement and the enduring appeal of Wagner's mythological opera cycle.
