Provenance

Where it came from

The Goetheanum glass windows were originally commissioned by Rudolf Steiner for the first Goetheanum building in Dornach, Switzerland, during the early 20th century. Designed to reflect the themes of human evolution and spiritual development, the windows utilized a complex technique of glass etching rather than traditional leaded stained glass. These designs were central to Steiner's architectural vision for the Anthroposophical Society, aiming to create a transformative space where light and color served as active participants in the architectural experience.

Georg Hartmann’s 1971 publication serves as a scholarly study of these monumental glass works, documenting their intricate symbolism and technical execution. The book provides historical context for how these windows survived the destruction of the first Goetheanum by fire in 1922 and their subsequent significance within the history of modern European esoteric art. Hartmann’s work is recognized for its careful preservation of the artistic intent behind the original glass etchings, which remain cornerstones of anthroposophical art history.
