1758 1841 Autograph Bust Depicted Heinrich Johann Monstrous Schiller Sculptor
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the intensity and focus of renowned German sculptor Johann Heinrich von Dannecker (1758-1841) as he meticulously works on a monumental bust of Friedrich Schiller. The photograph, taken in the late 18th or early 19th century, offers a rare glimpse into the creative process of one of Germany's most celebrated artists. Born in Würzburg, Dannecker studied under renowned sculptor Johann Christian Friedrich Höckner before embarking on a successful career that spanned several decades. Known for his intricate and lifelike sculptures, Dannecker's works were highly sought after by the aristocracy and the Church. The monstrous bust of Schiller depicted in the photograph is a testament to Dannecker's mastery of the medium. Schiller, a prominent German playwright and poet, was a contemporary and close friend of Dannecker. The bust, which is believed to have been completed in the early 1800s, is characterized by its grand scale and intricate details, reflecting Dannecker's deep understanding of the human form and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. The autograph inscription on the bottom right corner of the photograph adds an intriguing layer of history to the image. It not only confirms Dannecker's identity but also serves as a reminder of the personal connection between the artist and his subject. This photograph is a valuable historical document that offers insight into the life and work of a remarkable German sculptor. It is a testament to Dannecker's artistic talent and his enduring legacy in the world of sculpture.
