Product information "Ernst Barlach: Sculpture 'The Reunion' (1930), reduction in bronze"
'The Reunion' is one of the epoch-making works of modern sculpture: the profound humanity that characterises Barlach's work goes beyond the biblical scene depicted here. Incidentally, it has to do with an eyewitness: Thomas - in Aramaic his name could be translated as 'twin' - encounters Christ, in whose resurrection, according to the biblical account, he only wanted to believe when he could see him with his own eyes and put his fingers in his wound. Barlach stages the second of recognition and shows the moment of realisation and of rising up to the truth. He has thus created more than a Christian iconography. God incarnate is the 'twin' of man, his compassion is fraternal. And in this realisation of the humanity of the Son of God lies both hope and a task - the demand for humanity.
