About this motif
The Loreley is probably the most famous rock on the Rhine. At this narrow and once dangerous stretch of river near St. Goarshausen arose the legend of the maiden whose song lured boatmen to their doom – immortalised in Heinrich Heine's poem.
In this large etching Scholz shows the mighty slate rock from the river, with a small sailing boat on the water in front that emphasises the enormous height of the cliff. Image about 20 x 26 cm on a 32 x 42 cm sheet, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
