Product information "Carl Spitzweg: Sculpture 'The Poor Poet' (1839), art casting"
Symbolising the German poet and thinker: 'The Poor Poet'. No other work of art by Spitzweg enjoys such great popularity to this day. A survey revealed that 'The Poor Poet' - right after Leonardo da Vinci's 'Mona Lisa' - is one of the Germans' favourite paintings. Spitzweg has staged the image of the poet concentrating solely on the spiritual in a prototypical way here: Equipped against the cold with a blanket, a worn jacket and a sleeping cap and protected by an umbrella against the ingress of rainwater, he unperturbedly devotes himself to his work. The motif is now available exclusively from ars mundi as a romantic table sculpture for the first time. Our sculptor's model lovingly reproduces Spitzweg's original down to the last detail. An ideal gift for literature lovers, humanities scholars and head acrobats! Sculptor's model based on the 1839 oil painting from the Neue Pinakothek, Munich. Moulded by hand. Size 23 x 21 x 13 cm (W/H/D). Edition in polymer art casting with bronze-coloured patina. Patinated and polished by hand. Weight 3 kg.
