In their relaxed posture, rider and horse seem to be the counterpart to the depiction of St. George, who was the model for the cover of the almanac "The Blue Rider". While St. George, as a dragon fighter, symbolized the victory of the spiritual over the material for the artists of the Blue Rider, Hubert Lang's rider and horse radiate a deep calm. Without saddle or reins, the rider sits on the horse with his arms hanging down, to which Lang has given slightly archaic features and stylistic characteristics. In the 19th century painting section, another sculpture by him can be discovered: "Hommage à Arnold Böcklin" from 1999. The famous painting "Isle of the Dead" by Böcklin, created in various versions between 1880 and 1886, was ingeniously implemented as a sculpture by Hubert Lang. The artist Hubert Lang, born in Oberammergau, initially studied from 1963 to 1966 at the State School for Woodcarving in Oberammergau. From 1968 to 1974 he was a student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich and a master student of Georg Brenninger. He then studied painting with Alfred Hrdlicka at the Stuttgart Art Academy until 1976.
