About this artwork
The scapegoat – symbol of redemption
The Scapegoat is closely linked to Marc Chagall's The White Christ. As in Chagall's work, Christ appears here as Israel's High Priest—as the one who bears guilt and simultaneously redeems. He is the bridegroom who calls his bride out of the world with the cry "It is finished." The laying of hands on the head of the scapegoat—an Old Testament metaphor for the Messiah—refers to the sacrifice that bridges the gap… from the Old to the New Testament. The cross connects paradise and the second coming, beginning and consummation. In The Scapegoat, the divine plan of salvation is revealed in profound symbolism—a silent jubilation over the One who has victoriously fulfilled it.
Bernhard Maria Moehnle is a German-born and trained painter who, after his experience in stage design and animation, devoted himself entirely to painting ("solapintura"). He develops a unique visual language for each series of paintings, combining classical modernism with artists such as Rembrandt, Chagall, and Max Ernst, thus creating a distinctive neo-Renaissance style. His works convey profoundly emotional messages of Christianity and touch the viewer with their symbolic clarity, spiritual depth, and expressive power.
