About the Item

At once strong and sensuous, this large bronze of a fully nude triton figure, his right arm raised high with his trident, ready to strike, was sculpted in the 1920s by Hubert Netzer. This figure -- a creature of the sea and a companion to Neptune -- is solid, resolved and muscular, his face chiseled and classically handsome. Netzer had depicted a triton before -- for a fountain on Herzog Wilhelm Street in Munich -- one of an array of fountains with Netzer figures in that city. The artist also excelled as a teacher, with students under his supervision at the Dusseldorf School of Arts and Crafts. The sculpture is signed and exhibits the foundry mark for the Ferdinand von Miller Foundry in Munich.
