"The Affliction of the Nibelungs" (German: "Die Not der Nibelungen") is a painting by the German Symbolist artist Franz von Stuck, created in 1929. This work is part of von Stuck's later oeuvre and reflects his fascination with mythological and dramatic themes, particularly those drawn from Germanic and Norse legends. The painting depicts a scene from the Nibelungenlied, an epic poem from the Middle Ages that tells the story of the dragon-slayer Siegfried and the tragic fate of the heroes of the Nibelung clan.

In "The Affliction of the Nibelungs," von Stuck captures the moment of despair and desolation that befalls the Nibelung characters. The composition is likely to be rich in symbolism and dramatic intensity, characteristic of von Stuck's approach to art, which often involved a dark palette and a focus on the psychological depth of his subjects. The painting would be an example of von Stuck's ability to blend the influences of Art Nouveau with Symbolism, while also incorporating elements of historical painting traditions.

Franz von Stuck (1863–1928) was an influential figure in the Munich art scene at the turn of the century, and his works often explored themes of sin, sexuality, and the human psyche, intertwined with mythological references. As a professor at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts, he taught notable students, including Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, and Josef Albers.

"The Affliction of the Nibelungs" would be part of von Stuck's legacy as a painter, architect, and designer, whose work left a lasting impact on the development of modern art in Germany and beyond. The painting would be of interest to scholars of Symbolism and German art history, as well as to general audiences who appreciate the interplay of myth and art. As with many of von Stuck's works, this painting would likely be held in a museum or private collection, contributing to the understanding of the cultural and artistic milieu of late 19th and early 20th-century Europe.
