"Wotan and Brünnhilde" is an oil painting by the German artist Ferdinand Leeke (1859–1923), who is renowned for his visual interpretations of Richard Wagner's operas. Created in the early 20th century, this artwork captures a pivotal moment from Wagner's epic cycle "Der Ring des Nibelungen," specifically from the opera "Die Walküre." The painting depicts the god Wotan, the king of the gods in Germanic mythology, and his daughter Brünnhilde, one of the Valkyries.

In the scene, Wotan is often portrayed in a moment of sorrowful contemplation or stern resolution as he prepares to punish Brünnhilde for her disobedience. Brünnhilde, on the other hand, is typically shown as a powerful yet compassionate figure, caught between her duty to her father and her moral convictions. Leeke's interpretation is characterized by its dramatic intensity, rich color palette, and meticulous attention to the details of the characters' costumes and expressions, which reflect the emotional depth and complexity of Wagner's operatic narrative.

Ferdinand Leeke's work is part of a larger tradition of 19th and early 20th-century artists who were inspired by the themes and stories of Wagner's music dramas. His paintings contributed to the popular visual culture surrounding Wagner's operas during that period and helped to cement the iconic imagery associated with the composer's works. "Wotan and Brünnhilde" is emblematic of Leeke's artistic legacy and serves as a testament to the enduring influence of Wagner's mythology on the visual arts. The painting is not only significant for its artistic merit but also for its role in the broader cultural reception of Wagner's operas in the visual arts.
