Peter Hohberger: Sculpture 'Aglaia', version in bronze

Product information "Peter Hohberger: Sculpture 'Aglaia', version in bronze"

Hohberger's sculpture 'Aglaia' combines the myth of the Graces, who as Charites were already the goddesses of grace in Greek mythology. Aglaia' (= 'splendour') was the hot-blooded wife of Vulcanus. According to Greek mythology, the Graces are what give life its true pleasures; joy, jest and cheerfulness are found in their company. In the company of Venus, Bacchus and Apollo, they ensure that the beloved becomes truly charming to the lover, the wife to the husband - and thus symbolise the joys of love par excellence.
