"The Rhine's pure gleaming children told me of their sorrow" is an illustration by Arthur Rackham, a renowned English book illustrator, for the publication of "The Rhinegold and the Valkyrie" in 1910. This work is part of a series of illustrations created by Rackham to accompany Richard Wagner's "Der Ring des Nibelungen," a cycle of four epic music dramas. Rackham's illustrations for this series are celebrated for their intricate detail, ethereal quality, and their ability to capture the grandeur and fantasy of Wagner's operatic narrative.

This particular illustration depicts a scene from "Das Rheingold," the first of the four operas, where the Rhinemaidens express their distress to the hero Siegfried about the theft of the Rhine gold by the dwarf Alberich. Rackham's mastery of pen and ink, combined with watercolor, brings to life the lament of the Rhinemaidens with a sense of melancholy and otherworldly beauty. His use of muted colors and the interplay of light and shadow evoke the depths of the Rhine River and the emotional turmoil of the characters.

Arthur Rackham's work during the early 20th century represents a pinnacle in the Golden Age of Illustration, and his contributions to the visual interpretation of Wagner's operas have left a lasting impact on the arts. "The Rhine's pure gleaming children told me of their sorrow" stands as a testament to Rackham's skill in visual storytelling and his ability to convey complex emotions through his art. The illustration remains an important piece of the legacy of both Rackham and the broader cultural reception of Wagner's mythic tales.
