"The Rhinemaidens Obtain Possession of the Ring and Bear It Off in Triumph" is an illustration from "Siegfried and the Twilight of the Gods," a 1924 edition of Richard Wagner's opera cycle, "The Ring of the Nibelung," with English translation by Margaret Armour. This edition features the iconic work of British illustrator Arthur Rackham, for his contributions to the Golden Age of Illustration.

Demonstrative of Rackham's distinctively dark, yet delicate style, the illustration captures the moment in which the Rhinemaidens ostensibly regain the mystical golden ring from the tragic hero Siegfried – a poignant incident in the narrative. Featuring four figures – Siegfried and the three Rhinemaidens – amidst a tumultuous river setting, the illustration conveys the poignant drama of Wagner's piece.

In the foreboding scene, the Rhinemaidens are depicted as ethereal, captivating creatures, symbolic of the untamed beauty of nature and the realms of the mystical. Meanwhile Siegfried represents the mortal world, pursuing valour, love, and power, oblivious of the looming doom signified by the stolen ring. The interplay of dark and light, and the detailed portrayal of water and emotions, highlight Rackham's technique and embody the epic scope and philosophical depth of Wagner's epic.

As part of the broader work, "Siegfried and the Twilight of the Gods," this illustration is one of many that brought Rackham widespread acclaim for his interpretations of fantasy and folklore, marking a significant contribution to the visual culture of the early 20th Century. It stands today as a lasting testament to the enduring appeal of Rackham's work and the continuing fascination surrounding Wagner's ambitious opera cycle.
