"Nude Triton", Larger, Rare Bronze of Nude Male Triton by Netzer, 1920s

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.

  • "Male Athlete with Kettlebell", Rare Bronze Sculpture with Male Nude by Seifert
    By Franz Seifert
    Located in Philadelphia, PA
    This highly rare bronze of a nude male athlete preparing to left a heavy kettlebell weight was sculpted by an Austrian artist, Franz Seifert, in 1922. Although Seifert is known for his nude figures straining to accomplish physical tasks -- such as carrying a large bucket or splitting a stone -- this sculpture is the only example known to exist. A decade after this sculpture was cast, Seifert carved a marble portrait of Siegfried Marcus, inventor of the gasoline-powered car, for a monument in Vienna, which includes a nude male figure in bas relief racing forward on the upper edge of an automobile wheel. He also created a large sculpture grouping honoring Empress Elizabeth...
