AKTIEN-GESELLSCHAFT GLADENBECK
was founded in 1851 in Berlin, Germany. The business operated under its founder Carl Gustav Hermann Gladenbeck. It became known for its extremely high quality bronze castings and was one of the most important foundries in Germany if not the most important and leading foundry in Germany. Some of the earliest bronze sculptures from the foundry were marked “Gladenbeck” later castings over the years were marked “Gladenbeck und Sohn”, “Akt-Ges v.H. Gladenbeck”, “Akt-Ges Gladenbeck Berlin” or “Aktien-Gesellschaft Gladenbeck”.
The foundry cast most of the best known bronze sculptures by German artists from the mid-to-late 19th century to the early 20th century. In 1913 the foundry cast the monumental Confederate Memorial in Arlington National Cemetery. In 1910, Gladenbeck cast the Three Dancing Maidens which is also known as Untermyer fountain by sculptor Walter Schott. The fountain is located in Conservatory Garden, Central Park, New York. In the early 1920s, art deco master Ferdinand Preiss employed Gladenbeck to cast many of his bronze and chryselephantine sculptures of which many are extremely popular today.

BRONZE
is an alloy consisting primarily of copper with approximately 12–12.5% tin and often with the addition of other metals (including aluminium, manganese, nickel, or zinc) and sometimes non-metals, such as phosphorus, or metalloids such as arsenic or silicon depending on the age of the bronze and its origin. The additions of other metals produce a range of alloys that are usually harder than copper alone and carry useful properties such as strength. The earliest known use of bronze dates to the 5th millennium BCE from Iranian plateau, the bronze mix consists of arsenical copper and copper-arsenide. The earliest tin-copper-alloy recovered is dated to circa 4650 BCE and was found in Plocnik, Serbia. It is believed to have been smelted from a natural tin-copper ore.
ART NOUVEAU
was an international style of art and architecture, especially the decorative arts. It was inspired by natural forms such as the curves of plants and flowers. Other characteristics of Art Nouveau were a sense of dynamism, movement and the use of modern materials particularly iron, glass and ceramics to create unusual forms. It was popular between 1890 and 1910 during the Belle Époque period and before the First World War. It was a reaction against the academic art, eclecticism and historicism of 19th century architecture and decoration.
