"Swear to me, Hagen, my son" is a notable illustration by the renowned British artist Arthur Rackham, created for the publication of "Siegfried and the Twilight of the Gods" in 1924. This work is part of a series of illustrations that Rackham produced for Richard Wagner's "The Ring of the Nibelung," which is a cycle of four epic music dramas. The illustration accompanies the narrative of the opera "Götterdämmerung," the last in the cycle, and depicts a pivotal scene involving the characters Hagen, Alberich, and Brünnhilde.

Arthur Rackham (1867–1939) was a prolific and influential illustrator known for his distinctive style and contributions to the Golden Age of Illustration. His work on "Siegfried and the Twilight of the Gods" is characterized by intricate detail, dramatic use of color, and a fusion of the fantastical with the ethereal. Rackham's illustrations for Wagner's operas are celebrated for their ability to capture the complex emotions and supernatural elements of the narratives.

In "Swear to me, Hagen, my son," Rackham's artistry is evident in the haunting portrayal of the characters and the tension of the scene. The illustration is emblematic of Rackham's skill in conveying story through visual art and is a testament to his enduring legacy in the field of illustration. This particular piece, along with the rest of the series, contributed to the popularization of Wagner's operas and helped to visually define the characters and scenes for contemporary audiences.

The illustration is not only a significant example of Rackham's work but also an important artifact of early 20th-century book illustration, reflecting the cultural interest in mythology, folklore, and the revival of classic literature. As such, it remains a subject of study for those interested in illustration, opera, and the interpretation of mythological narratives through art.
