The Flame Leaper
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of Johann Philipp Ferdinand Preiss, a renowned German sculptor from the early 20th century. This close-up portrait-style image captures the dynamic and energetic nature of this cold-painted bronze sculpture. The figure, carved with meticulous detail from ivory and amber, stands at an impressive height of 36 cm on a black Belgian marble base. With arms raised and legs gracefully extended in mid-air, the leaper appears to be frozen in time as if caught during an extraordinary leap through flames. The artist's skillful use of decorative techniques brings life to this piece, with every muscle and gesture expertly rendered. The red background enhances the intensity of the scene while drawing attention to the fiery torch held by "The Flame Leaper". This artwork represents both danger and grace simultaneously - a representation of human strength defying natural phenomena. The direct gaze towards the camera adds an element of connection between viewer and subject. "The Flame Leaper" is not only a stunning example of Preiss' mastery but also serves as a testament to his ability to capture movement and emotion within his sculptures. It is no wonder why this piece holds its place in private collections worldwide.
