Product information "Rainer Stiefvater: Sculpture 'The World', version in artistic bronze"
His statues, wall reliefs and fountains, groups of figures, material paintings and exhibitions in Germany and abroad have made the Baden painter and sculptor Rainer Stiefvater widely known, and this work, which was only published in a small collector's edition and solemnly praises the beauty of creation, could soon be out of print. The artist, who was fond of mystery cults, was inspired to create his archaic frontal figure by sculptures from Freiburg Cathedral, but went back to their natural-cult source, the Magna Mater, once celebrated as the Mistress of the Earth with orgiastic spring festivals. This cycle is also symbolised by the growth rings rising from her shoulders. On her back she carries a lizard, which has symbolised the dark forces since the High Middle Ages. Edition of 49 pieces. Height 165 cm.
