RobiN: Sculpture 'Till Eulenspiegel', bronze

Product information "RobiN: Sculpture 'Till Eulenspiegel', bronze"

The truth lies in laughter! RobiN shows Eulenspiegel holding up a mirror to the times in a skilful and quick-witted manner. The model for numerous poems, from Hans Sachs to Gerhart Hauptmann, was a vagabond from Brunswick who put on his jester's cap to expose the limited ideas of his fellow human beings with numerous pranks. The unattached outsider took pleasure in duping all know-it-alls and parodying their language. His gravestone is in Mölln in Holstein, but he is as alive as ever: his name entered the German language with the word 'Eulenspiegeleien' and became a generic term in the Romance-speaking world: in French, Schalk means 'espiègle'. ars mundi exclusive edition as a bronze sculpture from the 'Märchen - Mythen - Sagen' series. Cast by hand using the lost wax technique. Limited edition of 99 pieces, numbered and signed. Height 38 cm.
