"Siegfried kills Fafner" is an illustration by the renowned British artist Arthur Rackham, created for the 1924 edition of "Siegfried and the Twilight of the Gods." This work is part of a series of illustrations that Rackham produced for Richard Wagner's epic opera cycle, Der Ring des Nibelungen, which delves into Norse and Germanic mythology. Rackham's illustrations for this series are celebrated for their intricate detail, vivid imagination, and the way they capture the grandeur and drama of Wagner's operatic narrative.

In this particular illustration, Rackham depicts the pivotal moment from the opera "Siegfried," where the hero Siegfried slays the dragon Fafner to take possession of the cursed ring of power. Rackham's mastery of both color and monochrome illustration is evident in the portrayal of the scene's intensity and the characters' expressions. The artwork is characterized by Rackham's signature style, which often includes gnarled trees, ethereal figures, and a sense of the fantastical.

"Siegfried kills Fafner" is not only a testament to Rackham's artistic skill but also an important piece of cultural history, reflecting the early 20th-century interest in mythology and legend as subjects for visual art. The illustration remains an iconic representation of Wagner's operatic masterpiece and is highly regarded by both art enthusiasts and fans of Rackham's work.
