Whoever is a complete human being by reason of his bringing the spiritual not merely to manifestation but to full realization through his will is—in the true sense—virtuous. Here we enter a region which lies within the human and religious, but no longer within the artistic, sphere, and least of all within the sphere of the beautiful. Everything in the world contains a polarity. Thus we can say of Titian's picture: Above Mary he is in danger of passing beyond the beautiful, there where he reaches the abyss of wisdom. Below, he comes to the brink of the other abyss. For as soon as a painter represents the virtuous, meaning that which man realizes through his own being, out of the spiritual, he again leaves behind the beautiful, the artistic. The virtuous human being can be painted only by characterizing virtue in its outer appearance, let us say by contrasting it with vice. But an artistic presentation of virtue as such is no longer possible.","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.

Der ist im richtigen Sinne der Tugendhafte, der ein ganzer Mensch dadurch ist, daß er das Geistige in sich zur Verwirklichung, nicht bloß zur Offenbarung, zur Verwirklichung durch den Willen bringt. Da kommt man dann aber in eine Region hinein, die zwar im Menschlichen liegt, die auch in das Religiöse hineingeht, die aber nicht mehr in dem Gebiete des Künstlerischen liegt, am wenigsten in dem Gebiete des Schönen. Alles ist in der Welt polarisch gestaltet. Daher kann man gerade an dem Tizianschen Bilde sagen: Nach oben setzt er sich ohne weiteres der Gefahr aus, aus dem Schönen hinauszukommen, wo er über die Maria hinausgeht. Da ist er am Abgrund der Weisheit. Nach unten ist er am anderen Abgrund. Denn sobald wir das Tugendliche darstellen, das, was der Mensch durch seine eigene Wesenheit aus dem Geistigen heraus verwirklichen soll, kommen wir wiederum aus dem Schönen, aus dem Künstlerischen heraus. Versuchen wir den eigentlich tugendhaften Menschen zu malen, so dürfen wir das nur dadurch tun, daß wir irgendwie die Tugend in dem äußeren Schein charakterisieren, meinetwillen in der Kontrastierung mit dem Laster. Aber die künstlerische Darstellung der Tugend zeigt eigentlich keine Kunst mehr, in unserer Zeit ist es schon ein Herausfallen aus dem Künstlerischen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":233,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/276/1923-06-09/p022"}],"english":["GA 276/1923-06-09/p029"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":233,"en_words":199,"ratio":0.85,"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%).
