About the Item

A German bronze model of the medieval Brunswick lion, mounted on a black marble plinth, late-19th century, The German prince, Henry, Duke of Saxony and Bavaria, commissioned the original sculpture and placed it in front of his castle at Brunswick as a symbol of his power. The lion was a feat of engineering – the first large hollow bronze casting of a figure since classical times. The sculpture has a highly worked surface and naturalistic form, which suggest the original was made by an experienced goldsmith or bell founder. The lion soon became the heraldic animal of Brunswick, appearing on the city’s seal and coins.

Cheetah Stretching Ingwe FoundryS31 Bronze Sculpture Maquette 3/15 Monogram BMR

Located in BUNGAY, SUFFOLK

Bronze study of a stretching cheetah. RHS under the belly bearing Ingwe Foundry stamp, ‘S31’ or ‘S3I’, Edition 3/15, monogram BMR. Artist unknown. I have been unsuccessfully resarching who the artist could be. The stretching pose of the cheetah is contemplative with a graceful, ease and content expression suggesting its attunement and hierarchy within the landscape and the animal world. Its power is conveyed with a noble quality in the pose, the sleek form and the sinewy musculature. Beautifully handworked with rich brown patina. Almost certainly inspired by the work of Dylan Lewis...
