This study focused on the relief <Recreation of Man>(1937-1938) installed in the League of Nations’s building and the relief is the biggest work of Eric Gill.
Unlike <Christ and Moneychanger>(1922-1923) in which Gill accused and directly rebuked the contradictions of society through the episode that appeared in the New Testament, <Recreation of Man> is the work of interpretation on the theme related to creation of man in the Old Testament from Gill’s view, and of Christian imagery towards the international community.
Eric Gill decided the topic, to maximize both the position of the League of Nations as a leader of international order of postwar and the British government as a donor. In this process, Eric Gill was figuratively shaping Christian vision and the critical view against industrialized countries, including the United Kingdom government. Also, borrowing some of the Michelangelo’s <Creation of Adam> known in art history, he took the form of a unique three-sided altarpiece. Confirming the meaning of this work can be achieved by comprehensively analyzing the image and the inscribed sentence that can be seen in the unique method of Eric Gill.
The Actual content of the religious poetry of the United Kingdom written in English and Latin, in the work, convey the idea that Eric Gill created the new world that built on the spirit of Christianity.
Finally this sculpture work presents the role of the international organization called League of Nations expressed as art and, at the same time, the religious beliefs of Eric Gill about the world was manifested in the international monument.
