In diesem Meisterwerk greift Ernst

In diesem Meisterwerk greift Ernst Fuchs ein uraltes mythologisches Thema auf: Der Widerstreit zwischen dem fliegenden Greif und der erdgebundenen Schlange. Durch die Vereinigung von Löwenkörper, Adlerkopf und Flügeln ist er Sinnbild der Beherrschung von Luft und Erde. Durch seinen scharfen Blick wurden ihm seherische Fähigkeiten zugeschrieben, er galt als heiliges Tier des Apoll und als Hüter des Goldes. Seit dem Mittelalter gehört der Greif zu den bedeutendsten heraldischen Figuren: Er ist in den Wappen vieler Länder und Städte zu finden, z.B. von Baden-Württemberg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Düsseldorf, Greifswald oder Rostock - und natürlich in den Wappen alter Adelsfamilien. Indem er seine Skulpturengruppe als Leuchterobjekt gestaltet, knüpft Ernst Fuchs zugleich an die Tischkultur des 18. und 19. Jahrhunderts an.
