Why is it often precisely the old portraits that people admire today? Because they were not painted as they now are, where the artist merely has a sitter to copy, and is duty bound to copy everything that is there. In the past people knew that if a person forms the muscles round his eyes in a particular way, then what lives in his *I* enters in a very definite way into his astral body and produces this form of the muscles. If we were to go back as far as ancient Greece, we would be quite wrong to imagine that the ancient Greeks used a model for the wonderful forms they created. They had no models. If a particular curve of the arm was required, the sculptor, knowing how the will brought the *I* into the astral body, created the curve out of this experience. As this feeling for what was going on in the astral body faded away the necessity arose to adhere as strictly to a model as is customary today.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture V","site_heading":"The I, Will, and Human Evolution's Spiritual Crisis","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Warum bewundert man denn heute vielfach gerade alte Porträts? Weil das alte Porträt nicht bloß so wie das heutige gemacht worden ist, daß? man eine Person hat und nun nachmalt nach der Person und ganz darauf angewiesen ist, daß man alles das, was dagewesen ist, nachmalt, sondern weil man noch gewußt hat: bei jemand, der die Muskeln um das Auge in einer bestimmten Weise formt, bei dem geht das, was im Ich lebt, in einer ganz bestimmten Weise in den astralischen Leib, durch den er diese Form der Muskeln hervorbringt. Ginge man gar ins alte Griechentum zurück, würde man sich ganz und gar täuschen, wenn man etwa glaubte, daß die alten Griechen ein Modell gebraucht haben zu diesen wunderbaren Formen, die sie zusammengefügt haben. Sie haben kein Modell gehabt. Wer eine bestimmte Armform zu geben hatte, der wußte, wie der Wille das Ich hineinführt in den astralischen Leib, und aus diesem, was er spürte, machte er dann die Formen. Indem alles Erfühlen des astralischen Leibes erstorben ist, ist erst nötig geworden, sich so eng an das Modell zu halten, wie das eben für unsere Zeit gebräuchlich geworden ist.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":231,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/166/1916-02-08/p013"}],"english":["GA 166/1916-02-08/p014"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":231,"en_words":215,"ratio":0.93,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.98,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":9740,"original_word_count":9892,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Pauline Wehrle","identified_edition":"AP1988","book_title":"Necessity and Freedom","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA166/English/AP1988/19160208p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
