"The Norns Vanish" is a notable illustration by the renowned English artist Arthur Rackham, created for Richard Wagner's opera cycle "Der Ring des Nibelungen," specifically the opera "Siegfried and the Twilight of the Gods." This work, produced in 1924, is part of a series of illustrations that Rackham crafted to accompany a translation of Wagner's libretto, which was published in a limited edition book. Rackham, celebrated for his contributions to the Golden Age of Illustration, was particularly adept at capturing the mythological and fantastical elements inherent in Wagner's operatic masterpiece.

In this illustration, Rackham depicts the moment from the Norse mythology-inspired narrative when the Norns, akin to the Fates in classical mythology, disappear. These female beings are traditionally responsible for weaving the destiny of gods and men, and their vanishing signifies the impending doom and the unraveling of the world order, themes central to the opera's dramatic conclusion. Rackham's mastery of watercolor and ink, along with his distinctive style characterized by intricate detail and a moody, atmospheric quality, brings this pivotal scene to life with a haunting beauty.

"The Norns Vanish" is emblematic of Rackham's artistic legacy and his ability to visually interpret complex literary and musical works. His illustrations for "Siegfried and the Twilight of the Gods" are considered some of his finest contributions to the art of book illustration and continue to be celebrated for their imaginative power and technical finesse. This particular piece, like many of Rackham's works, has been widely reproduced and remains influential in the fields of illustration and fantasy art.
