One could not imagine her clothed otherwise than in a red garment and blue cloak, because only so is the Mother of God placed rightly into earthly life; the red garment depicting all the emotions of the earthly, the blue cloak the soul element which weaves the spiritual around her; the face permeated and transfigured by spirit, overcome by light as a revelation of the spirit. We do not, however, properly and artistically take hold of these truths if we stop with what I have just described. For I have translated the artistic into the inartistic. We feel them artistically only if we create directly out of red and blue and the light by experiencing the light, in its relationship to colors and darkness, *as a world in itself*. Then colors speak their own language, and the Virgin Mary is created out of them.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture VI","site_heading":"Painting and the Spiritual Radiance of Color","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.

Man konnte sie nicht anders vorstellen als in einem roten Gewande und im blauen Mantel, weil nur dadurch die Gottesmutter in der richtigen Weise in das irdische Leben hineingestellt wird, in dem roten Gewande mit allem Emotionellen des Irdischen, im blauen Mantel das Seelische, das sie mit dem Geistigen umwebt, und in dem verklärten Gesichte das Durchgeistigte, das von dem Lichte als der Offenbarung des Geistes überwältigt wird. Aber das faßt man nicht richtig künstlerisch, solange man es nur noch so fühlt, wie ich es jetzt ausgesprochen habe. Ich habe es jetzt gewissermaßen in das Unkünstlerische übersetzt. Künstlerisch fühlt man es erst in dem Augenblicke, wo man aus dem Rot heraus und aus dem Blau heraus und aus dem Lichtmäßigen heraus, indem man das Licht in seinem Verhältnis zu den Farben und zu der Dunkelheit als eine Welt für sich erlebt, schafft, so daß man eigentlich also nichts anderes mehr hat als die Farbe, und die Farbe einem so viel sagt, daß man aus der Farbe und dem Hell-Dunkel herausholen kann die Jungfrau Maria.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":232,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/276/1923-06-09/p010"}],"english":["GA 276/1923-06-09/p011"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":232,"en_words":180,"ratio":0.78,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.74,"band":"short","note":"This witness is materially shorter than the original (below 75%).
