About the Item

Relief Woodcarving by Hermann Steiner Meran 19th century The wooden carved relief shows a grandfather with grandson on his lap. The granddaughter is sitting on the chair and hides a ball from her brother. Executed by the famous woodcarver Hermann Steiner, Meran circa 1900. With carved signature: "Herm. Steiner". Measures: Width: 11.81" (30.0cm) Height: 15.16" (38.5cm) The tradition of wood carving, using manual skills to make everyday objects and fine art sculptures, is found throughout Europe. The incentive to create not only useful but also aesthetically beautiful things, distinguishes the craftsman from the artist. In addition to the well-known Swiss wood carving artists, others can also be named in Italy / Tyrol with Steiner, in Germany with Madel and in Austria with Heissl.
