Paul Wunderlich: Large sculpture 'Daphne', bronze

Product information "Paul Wunderlich: Large sculpture 'Daphne', bronze"

We encounter Daphne, a representative large sculpture by Paul Wunderlich, in sublime beauty. Her mysterious smile, the gesture of her hand outstretched towards us and the archaic hairstyle emphasise the magical impression of the sculpture. Daphne, who evaded Apollo's advances by transforming herself into a laurel tree, is depicted by Wunderlich at a decisive moment. Having just been exposed to the god of love and only escaped by a ruse, Wunderlich shows Daphne's transformation back into triumphant femininity. Sculpture in fine bronze, patinated and partially polished. Cast using the lost wax technique. Mounted on a bronze plinth. Edition of 290, numbered and signed. Catalogue raisonné no. 235. Height without plinth 125 cm, with plinth 147 cm. Weight 65 kg.
Artist: Paul Wunderlich
