A Reunion | Sascha Schneider | 1895

"A Reunion" by Sascha Schneider, circa 1895, is a black-and-white illustration steeped in Symbolist themes and iconography. It depicts a complex, spiritually intense scene involving multiple figures engaged in a mystical ritual or gathering.

In the center, a haloed figure sits in contemplation or judgement, while other figures surround them in various roles, possibly representing allegorical or supernatural forces. To the right, a winged, angelic figure with eyes embroidered on their garment stands beside a demonic-looking character, who clasps another kneeling figure by the neck, suggesting a tension between divine and infernal powers. Another figure presents a crown of thorns, while someone holds a banner marked "INRI," hinting at Christian iconography. The dark, cloudy background enhances the eerie, otherworldly mood. The piece combines elements of Christian symbolism, mythological motifs, and psychological conflict, highlighting Schneider's fascination with the dichotomy of good and evil, power, and submission.
