"Awakening of Brunnhilde" is a painting by the German artist Hermann Hendrich (1854–1931), who was known for his works inspired by Germanic mythology and the operas of Richard Wagner. This particular painting captures a pivotal moment from Wagner's opera cycle "Der Ring des Nibelungen," specifically from the opera "Siegfried." The scene depicted is the awakening of the Valkyrie Brünnhilde by the hero Siegfried, who has climbed the magic fire-encircled rock where she lies in an enchanted sleep.

Hendrich's portrayal is characterized by its dramatic intensity and romantic style, reflecting the Wagnerian themes of heroism, love, and redemption. The use of color and light plays a significant role in the composition, emphasizing the contrast between the fiery barrier and the serene figure of Brünnhilde as she is roused from her slumber. The painting is a testament to Hendrich's skill in visual storytelling and his ability to translate the grandeur of operatic narratives onto canvas.

As an artist, Hermann Hendrich was particularly adept at creating large-scale, atmospheric works that resonated with the spirit of the German Romantic movement. His paintings often featured scenes from folklore, legend, and epic tales, which were popular subjects during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. "Awakening of Brunnhilde" is considered one of Hendrich's significant contributions to the genre of mythological painting, and it remains an important example of the cultural cross-pollination between visual arts and music during the period.

The painting is not only a visual representation of a moment in opera but also serves as an embodiment of the broader cultural fascination with myth and legend that was prevalent in Hendrich's time. It continues to be appreciated by audiences for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the context of German art history.
