Evert den Hartog: Sculpture 'Heron in the Sun', bronze

Product information "Evert den Hartog: Sculpture 'Heron in the Sun', bronze"

The question repeatedly posed by philosophers about the feelings of animals is answered quite clearly here: Hartog's heron dries its plumage in the sun and the viewer has the immediate impression that it is enjoying it. The 'frozen moment', which in Hartog's own words is always the point of his work, is undoubtedly a moment of happiness here. Sculpture in fine bronze, cast using the lost wax technique, patinated and polished by hand on a diabase base. Limited edition of 99 pieces, individually numbered and labelled with the Hartogs signature emblem. Format incl. base 34.5 x 20.5 x 15 cm (h/w/d). Format base 3.8 x 15 x 15 cm (h/w/d). Weight 11.6 kg. ars mundi exclusive edition.
Artist: Evert den Hartog
