Das Rheingold III
All Resolutions
For the third tableau of "Das Rheingold."
Description:
Wotan (left) and Loge, a demigod of fire, stand in the Nibelungs' subterranean realm, in search of the gold stolen by Alberich. Loge mocks the magical powers of Alberich, who responds by transforming into a giant snake. Loge pretends to be frightened. Das Rheingold is the first of the four operas in Wagner's cycle, known in English as The Ring of the Nibelung.
Beardsley intended a series of illustrations for Das Rheingold, but he had time to complete only two.
