"The Mourning of Orpheus, " Rare Gilded Bronze by Strindberg w/ Nude Male & Lyre
About the Item
Beautifully sculpted by Tore Strindberg, one of Sweden's leading sculptors in the early 20th century, and sensitively cast and gilded by the Otto Meyers foundry in Stockholm, this piece captures the heartbreaking moment when Orpheus sings to the heavens in mourning after losing Eurydice, the love of his life. Strindberg exhibited widely in Venice, Vienna, Reykjavik, Copenhagen and other cities across Europe in the 1920s and 30s, and he participated in the art exhibition sponsored by the 1932 Olympics. His works are in the collections of the National Museum and the Modern Museum in Stockholm, Rottneros Sculpture Park, the Gothenburg Art Museum and the Malmö Museum. The bronze sculpture shows the sculptor's signature and the foundry mark.

- "Down for the Count, " Extraordinary, Rare Bronze w/ Nude Male Boxers by HowardLocated in Philadelphia, PAOne of the most celebrated figural sculptures of the 20th century, and one of the finest depictions of the male figure from the 1920s and 30s, this extremely rare bronze by Cecil de Blaquiere Howard depicts two boxers, one triumphant and one defeated, in the heat of the match. Each of the two nudes is beautifully captured in a scene that is compact and complex, with the standing figure stepping over and around the fallen figure below. The sculpture is depicting a dramatic moment in the boxing ring, but it is also presenting two male figures at their peak of physical perfection. Howard was born in Canada, brought up in America, and trained under sculptors such as James Fraser...Category

A decade after this sculpture was cast, Seifert carved a marble portrait of Siegfried Marcus, inventor of the gasoline-powered car, for a monument in Vienna, which includes a nude male figure in bas relief racing forward on the upper edge of an automobile wheel. He also created a large sculpture grouping honoring Empress Elizabeth...Category
