About Gustav Eberlein
1847-1926
Gustav Eberlein was a sculptor, painter and writer. The German Emperor Kaiser Wilhelm visited him frequently in his studio close to Berlin's Lützowufer. Martin Gropius was one of his patrons. At the end of the 19th century, there was no one among the great and powerful who did not want to be portrayed by him. And so the fame of Gustav Eberlein, who was born near Hannoversch Münden, Germany, was based mainly on the many monuments of prominent people he produced. His enormous oeuvre, consisting of over 600 sculptures and 300 paintings, also made Eberlein one of the most prolific artists of his time.
Bronze powder is polymer-bonded. Special polishing and patination techniques give the surface of the casting an appearance similar to the bronze.
A true-to-the-original reproduction of an artwork in the same size and with the best possible material and colour uniformity.
The mould is usually taken directly from the original so that the replication reproduces even the finest details. After casting the replication, using the most appropriate method, the surface is polished, patinated, gilded or painted according to the original.
A replication of ars mundi is a recognizable copy of the original.
A plastic work of sculptural art made of wood, stone, ivory, bronze or other metals.
While sculptures from wood, ivory or stone are made directly from the block of material, in bronze casting a working model is prepared at first. Usually, it is made of clay or other easily mouldable materials.
The prime time of sculpture after the Greek and Roman antiquity was the Renaissance. Impressionism gave a new impulse to the sculptural arts. Contemporary artists such as Jorg Immendorf, Andora, and Markus Lupertz also enriched sculptures with outstanding works.
