BACK PAGE - Rudolf Steiner's Statue The Representative of Humanity

 

This large wooden sculpture by Rudolf Steiner was meant to occupy central stage in the First Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland before this  building consisting of was burned down by arson at Sylvester 1922/23. It is now exhibited in an attic chamber in the Second Goetheanum. With Christ as a the force of the double middle between the polarity of Lucifer on top  (the Devil as he is called in the Bible) and Ahriman (the Biblical Satan) down below, it represents a “Trinitarian” image to the dynamic threefold structure of the statues of the Anthroposophical Society that offer a narrow path between the Luciferic and Ahrimanic. The statue could therefore also be seen as The Constitution of Humanity.
