Product information "Johann Robert Korn: Sculpture 'Chimpanzee' (1896), bronzed cast stone version"

A world-class natural spectacle: Johann Robert Korn's 'Chimpanzee'. Korn combines a precise zoological view with a subtle allusion to one of the most important scientific themes of his time - Darwinism - and gives the chimpanzee an almost human, thoughtful expression. Even here, as in his numerous later works, the artist shows that his depictions of animals are characterised by a deep respect for the creature. Edition in cast stone with bronzed surface. Limited edition of 499 copies, numbered and signed. With certificate. Size 28 x 34 x 24.5 cm (W/H/D), weight 14 kg. Exclusively at ars mundi.
Artist: Johann Robert Korn
