"Antigone und Hamon" is a sculpture by the German artist Alfred Renz, created in 1959. The work is a representation of the tragic figures Antigone and Haemon from Greek mythology and Sophocles' play "Antigone." In the myth, Antigone defies the orders of her uncle, King Creon, by performing burial rites for her brother Polynices, leading to her imprisonment and eventual death. Haemon, Creon's son and Antigone's betrothed, tries to intercede on her behalf and, failing that, takes his own life after finding Antigone has hanged herself.

Renz's sculpture captures the emotional intensity and tragic fate of the young couple, embodying themes of love, defiance, and the struggle against authoritarian power. The artwork reflects the post-war German context in which it was created, a period when artists grappled with themes of authority, individual conscience, and moral responsibility.

Alfred Renz (1906–1994) was a German sculptor known for his work in stone and bronze. His oeuvre often dealt with human figures and was marked by a combination of realism and expressionism. "Antigone und Hamon" is considered an important work in Renz's artistic legacy, showcasing his skill in conveying complex emotional narratives through sculpture.

The piece is significant within the broader context of 20th-century German art, as it exemplifies the way in which classical themes were revisited and reinterpreted in the post-World War II era. "Antigone und Hamon" remains an enduring symbol of the timeless nature of classical myths and their capacity to speak to contemporary issues and moral dilemmas.
