Paul Leibküchler, Sisyphus, German Jugenstil Bronze Sculpture, circa 1900
By Paul Leibküchler
Located in New York, NY
This extremely impressive depiction of Sisyphus, the figure from Greek mythology in darkly patinated bronze as an athletic male figure with energetic facial expression, wearing only a loincloth, stiffening a boulder over his right shoulder, on round, geometrically decorated plinth.
In Greek mythology, Sisyphus was the king of Ephyra (now known as Corinth). He was punished for his self-aggrandizing craftiness and deceitfulness by being forced to roll an immense boulder up a hill only for it to roll down when they near the top, repeating this action for eternity. Through the classical influence on modern culture, tasks that are both laborious and futile are, therefore, described as Sisyphean labour.
Signed by the artist on the plinth: “Leibküchler fec.” (for Paul Leibkuchler...

Alexandre Zeitlin (French/American, 1872 - 1946) was an outstanding sculptor known for his portrait busts. Alexander Zeitlin was born in Tiflis, Georgia (Russian Empire), in 1872. He held his first art exhibition in his hometown in his early teens. At first, the novice sculptor studied at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts (1890–1894), where his portrait busts of Archduke Otto were noted.
He then studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Zeitlin's ‘Despair’ statue and a portrait bust of the opera singer Jeanne Hatto were among the first to receive public recognition.
