Goethe sculpture sphere on cube Print

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) is considered the greatest German literary figure of the modern era - but he created only one sculpture: A sphere on a cube. The "secret" of the sculpture is how the sphere relate to the cube, to give the very harmonic sphere-to-cube look: The diameter of the sphere is calculated as if the sphere is inscribed in the equal-sided triangle with sides that equal the diagonal of the surface of one of the sides of the cube. Goethe probably created the sculpture to illustrate the female principle, the sphere, in relation the the male principle, the cube, and maybe after an unhappy love affair.
