“Donner, your lord, summons his hosts!” is an illustration by Arthur Rackham, created within the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement. This artwork forms part of the series “The Rhinegold & The Valkyrie.” In the illustration, a powerful figure stands on rocky terrain with a rugged and grandiose presence. He is clad in elaborate, fur-lined armor and raises his left arm high into the stormy sky, gripping a hammer in his hand. His long, flowing red hair and beard are animated as though caught in a fierce wind, and a crimson cloak billows behind him. The dark, swirling clouds and distant mountains depict a dramatic and mystical landscape. The detailed, intricate style characteristic of Arthur Rackham’s work is evident in the rich textures and dynamic composition of this captivating scene.
