Description
‘Mourning Genius’ (‘Trauernde Genius’)
The torch turned upside down symbolizes death, a life extinguished, but it also stands for a soul that is still burning in the afterlife.
In Roman religion, the genius is the individual instance of a general divine nature that is present in every individual person, place, or thing. Much like a guardian angel, the genius would follow each man from the hour of his birth until the day he died. For women, it was the Juno spirit that would accompany each of them.
The Christian theologian Augustine equated the Christian ‘soul’ with the Roman genius, citing Varro as attributing the rational powers and abilities of every human being to their genius.

Daphnis and Chloe is an ancient Greek novel written in the Roman Empire, the only known work of the second-century AD Greek novelist and romance writer Longus. Cloe saves her lover by playing the aulos.
The aulos is not a flute; in form and performance the aulos is similar to a clarinet (cylindrical bore) or an oboe (double-reed). The main difference from these modern instruments is that the ancient aulos was almost always played in pairs by the same performer, such that each hand controlled one aulos.

Dryad is a tree nymph or tree spirit in Greek mythology. Drys signifies ‘oak’ in Greek, and dryads are specifically the nymphs of oak trees, but the term has come to be used for tree nymphs in general, or human-tree hybrids in fantasy. They were normally considered to be very shy creatures except around the goddess Artemis, who was known to be a friend to most nymphs.

In ancient times, Sappho was widely regarded as one of the greatest lyric poets and was given names such as the Tenth Muse and The Poetess. Most of Sappho’s poetry is now lost, and what is extant has mostly survived in fragmentary form; two notable exceptions are the Ode to Aphrodite and the Tithonus poem.

Heinrich Waderé
Heinrich Maria Waderé, born in 1865 in Colmar as the son of stucco-worker, was a German sculptor. From 1879 to 1882 he followed an apprenticeship with the Colmar wood-sculptor Adolph Stein. A state-scholarship enabled him to go to the Munich Art Academy where he studied, from 1885 to 1891, under sculptor professor Syrius Eberle and architect professor Friedrich von Thiersch. In 1890 and 1891, still during his study, he debuted with the figure ‘Cloë’ at prominent art exhibitions in Munich and Berlin, were he was awarded the Golden Medal II Class and die II Golden Prussian Statemedal, -quite extraordinary as these distinctions were seldom given to students. During his years at the Munich Academy he made study trips to Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Holland, France and Italy. At the end of his study in 1991 Kaiser Willem II awarded him the ‘Great Rome Stipend’. At the end of 1991 Waderé established his own atelier in Munich.
Waderé exhibited his works from 1889 to 1931, more than 4 decades, almost every year in the Munich Glaspalast. Even after the Glaspalast burned down in 1931, he still took part in the ‘Great Munich Art exhibitions’: in 1932 in the Deutsche Museum, and in 1934 and 1936 in the Pinakothek.
At the ‘Grosse Berliner Kunstausstellungen’ he was, almost every year, represented from 1902 to 1913. In 1897 Waderé’s marble ‘Rosa Mystica’ was displayed at the Biennale di Venezia. A year earlier ‘Rosa Mystica’ was awarded the Silver Medal at the ‘Esposición de Bellas Artes é Industrias’ in Barcelona.
In 1895 Waderé created ‘Pallas Athene’, a bronze with golden patina of 1 meter high; it was a Gift of Honor by the Allg. Deutsch. Kunstgenossenschaft on the occasion of the 80th birthday of Regent Bismarck. The bronze was personally handed over to Bismarck in Friedrichsruh by Heinrich Waderé, who was part of a delegation of artists. At that time Waderé was 30 years old. ‘Pallas Athena’ by Waderé was also displayed at the ‘Münchener Jahresausstellung 1895’ in the Königl. Glaspalaste. The bronze is nowadays in the possession of the Bismarck-Museum in Freidrichsruh.
For the city of Munich Waderé created numerous sculptures, memorials and reliefs, i.a. the figures on top of the Prinzregententheater, works for the Justizpalast, the Wagner-memorial, figures for the City Hall, the Künstlerhaus, the Bayerische Nationalmuseum, the Deutsche Bank, the Dresdner Bank, Bayerische Staatsbank and the Bayerische Börse. Waderé also created many figures and reliefs for public buildings, and war memorials, in other German cities, among them: Aschaffenburg, Augsburg (i.a. Fugger Palais), Dresden, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Garmisch (Spitalkapelle), Geislingen, Hannover, Mannheim, Kleve, Nürnberg (Handelskammer), Starnberg, Stuttgart (St. Elisabeth), Würzburg (i.a. St. Joseph). Outsite Germany works by Waderé can be found in Cleveland (USA), Colmar (France), Gollantsch (Poland), New York (USA), Sao Paulo (Brasil), Salzburg (Austria, -i.a. Mozarteum), San Simeon (USA, -Hearst Castle), Spain (Royal Family), Springfield (USA), Strassburg (France, -Saint-Pierre-le-Jeune Catholic Church, St. Magdalena). Waderé created in total more than 350 works in his life.
In 1900 he was awarded a bronze medal for his works displayed at the Paris World Exhibition. In the same year he started as professor at the Königlichen Kunstgewerbeschule München.
In 1904 he became boardmember of the ‘Allgemeinen Deutschen Kunstgenossenschaft’ and member of of the Zentraljury of the Münchener Kunstlergenossenschaft. In 1930 at the Glaspalast-fire he lost his figure ‘John the Baptizer’. In the same year he retired, however in practice he continued his work until 1933. In that year he became member of the NSDAP, and in 1935 member of the Reichskulturkammer. In 1943 Waderé and his wife left Munich and went to Scherwiller in Alsache-Lorraine. In December 1944 Waderé’s house in Munich was bombed, and in May 1945 his art works stored in the city of Freisling (Bavaria) were plundered. In 1946 Waderé and his wife came back to Bavaria, and lived in a retirement home near Schliersee.
Heinrich Waderé died in 1950.
