linkHermann Hendrich (1854-1931) was a German artist.
From 1870 to 1872 he served his apprenticeship as
lithographer; one year shorter than the regular duration
due to his evident talent. He then started a job in a Hanoverian
lamp factory where he had to draw a catalogue. At that
time, he first attended a Wagnerian opera, Tannhäuser,
and the wish emerged to be able to draw such musical
impressions. His futher education took place in Norway
as well as in Germany at Berlin Academy of Art

Possibly from Richard Wagner's
'Der Ring der Nibelungen'
