Bronze Sculpture “Reclining Nude with Book” by Johannes Seiler

About the Item

This elegant bronze sculpture, signed by Johannes Seiler, portrays a reclining nude woman immersed in reading. Lying on her stomach, she delicately supports her head with her left hand resting on her cheek, while her right arm extends forward to hold an open book. The artist masterfully captures the serene and contemplative mood of the figure, highlighting the natural grace of the female form. The polished surface enhances the sculpture’s refined aesthetic, while the textured base adds depth and contrast. A timeless piece of artistry, this sculpture embodies both intellectual engagement and classical beauty, making it a distinguished addition to any collection. Johannes Seiler (1871 - 1954) was a German sculptor and painter. As the son of Nuremberg mayor Christoph von Seiler, he attended the Kunstgewerbeschule in Nuremberg and then studied sculpture with Syrius Eberle and painting with Hermann Groeber and Bernhard Buttersack at the Munich Art Academy from 1890 to 1897. After a longer stay in Italy, he founded a workshop in Munich in 1898. From 1913 he lived and worked in Nuremberg.
