"The Rhine Gold" (German: "Das Rheingold") is a series of paintings by the German artist Hermann Hendrich, created in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Inspired by Richard Wagner's opera "Das Rheingold," the first of the four operas that comprise "Der Ring des Nibelungen," Hendrich's paintings are a visual interpretation of the mythological narrative presented in the music drama. The artworks are known for their vivid depiction of the characters and scenes from the opera, capturing the mystical essence of the Rhine River and the legendary figures associated with the Ring Cycle.

Hermann Hendrich (1854–1931) was a symbolist painter whose work often delved into Germanic myths and legends, particularly those that were also explored by Wagner in his operas. Hendrich's paintings are characterized by their attention to detail, rich color palette, and the incorporation of fantastical elements that align with the Romantic spirit of the era. His interpretation of "The Rhine Gold" not only reflects the cultural resurgence of interest in German folklore but also serves as a visual companion to Wagner's epic musical composition.

The series includes several key scenes from the opera, such as the Rhine maidens guarding the gold, the theft of the gold by the dwarf Alberich, and the gods' entry into Valhalla. Through his art, Hendrich sought to capture the grandeur and the dramatic intensity of the operatic narrative, making the mythological world accessible to an audience beyond the opera house.

"The Rhine Gold" paintings by Hermann Hendrich were exhibited in various venues, including the Hermann Hendrich-Halle in Hohenhonnef, where a selection of his works was displayed. The paintings contributed to the popularization of Wagner's operas and played a role in the visual arts movement of the time, which often sought inspiration from literature and music. Hendrich's work remains a testament to the interdisciplinary connections between the arts during the late 19th-century cultural milieu in Germany.
