About the Item
Rudolf Marcuse - The Swordsman
Germany (Berlin)
bronze, marble
circa 1910
Dimensions: H x W x D: 24 x 19 x 6 cm
Description:
Bronze figure standing on a two-tiered base made of black and gray veined marble. We see an unclothed swordsman in action. His gaze is directed forwards and his sword is pointing downwards, his weight resting on his right leg, the supporting leg. His left leg is slightly bent and ready to take the next step.
The young man's well-trained upper body is in a tense yet balanced pose. He holds the sword in his right hand and keeps his balance with his left arm.
With his gaze fixed straight ahead, he is completely focused on his opponent.
The bronze figure has a dark patina, the sword is polished gold.
The signature “Rudolf Marcuse” can be found on the oval plinth, as well as the foundry mark “Akt Ges Gladenbek Berlin”.
Rudolf Marcuse (1878-1940) was a German sculptor who worked in Berlin until 1936 and then moved to Great Britain due to his Jewish ancestry.
Marcuse was known for his nude figures, such as the discus thrower, the swordsman or the Amazon, but also for large-format sculptures such as the monument to Moses Mendelssohn in the front garden of the Jewish Boys' School in Berlin or the portrait of the zoo director Carl Hagenbeck with the lion Triest in Hamburg-Stellingen from 1926.
The figure offered here is illustrated and described in the literature:
