Detailed description
Sculpture "The Knight of the Rose", bronze
"The Knight of the Rose" is a cultural treat of a unique kind: as an opera, it is already a humorous classic, but as a drawing from Loriot it is a classic of humour. The "The Knight of the Rose" delivers its message of love in an absolutely irresistible way. Loriot's protagonist immortalised in bronze is an everlasting declaration of love. The true role of the man is defined, quite incidentally, in a typical lovely way à la Loriot: the well-behaved retrieving "best friend" of the house... A delightful eye-catcher that will give both men and women everlasting
The limited edition of 980 copies bears Loriot's signature and is individually numbered. Each sculpture is cast by hand using the Lost-Wax-Process, patinated and polished by hand. Size 18 x 18 x 17 cm. Weight approx. 2 kg. ars mundi Exclusive Edition.

Customer reviews
Artikel ist genau wie beschrieben, eben eine Augenweide! Eine wirklich gelungene Plastik in sehr guter Verpackung und mit sehr guter Lieferzeit.
Damit kann ich zum 100. Geburtstag des Erfinders der Knollennase in seiner Geburtsstadt eigentlich niemanden mit diesem Präsent verprellen!
Loriot würde wahrscheinlich die Frage stellen, woher der Herr im Dezember die tolle Rose hat?!
Ich würde ihm sagen, Von Ars Mundi!
Die Bestellung war unkompliziert, die Ware wie versprochen. Bin sehr zufrieden damit. Sehr schöne Skulptur.

About Loriot
1923-2011, a german draughtsman, cartoonist, author, humourist, opera director
He won several german "golden" awards: two Golden Cameras, two Golden Records, the Golden Screen, the Golden Gramophone and the Golden Lion of Honour. Not to mention the Ernst Lubitsch and Adolph Grimme prizes, the Telestar or the Sonderbambi... He was awarded the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany for his special services.
Loriot is best known for his cartoons and sketches with the characters feature of bulbous noses. For example, two popular characters are Mr Müller-Lüdenscheid and Dr Klöbner, who - unawares - get into the same hotel bathtub and argue so delightful about whether the rubber duck should be allowed in the water or not... In his books, Loriot has dealt intensively with the passage of time. "Loriot's Diary - Zeitgeschehen von Meisterhand" or "Loriot's Heile Welt - Neue gesammelte Texte und Zeichnungen zu brennenden Fragen der Zeit" are just two out of many examples.
Vicco von Bülow, alias Loriot, was without a doubt the "grand seigneur" of German humour. His sketches are often known by heart by a lot of people and no matter the art he was creating - whether as a caricaturist, a humourist, an actor or director - he always achieved something special and memorable.
"Comedy, as I understand it, always deals with self-irony, otherwise something is missing. You have to include yourself." This is the secret to his success and noticeable in all his works. That‘s why his humour is never disparaging, never hurtful. Loriot was always extremely tender even with the characters in his most accurate parodies and precisely observed exposures of middle-class narrow-mindedness. Loriot’s humour, one could say, is not a sharp dagger for grim confrontations, but a fine scalpel that ultimately works towards healing the world with every cut.
The "grand seigneur" of German humour died in August 2011.
An alloy of copper with other metals (especially with tin) used since ancient times.
When casting bronze, the artist usually applies the lost-wax technique which is dating back more than 5000 years. It's the best, but also the most complex method of producing sculptures.
First, the artist forms a model of his sculpture. It is embedded in a liquid silicone rubber mass. Once the material has solidified, the model is cut out. The liquid wax is poured into the negative mould. After cooling down, the wax cast is removed from the mould, provided with sprues and dipped into ceramic mass. The ceramic mass is hardened in a kiln, whereby the wax flows out (lost mould).
Now we finally have the negative form, into which the 1400° C hot molten bronze is poured. After the bronze had cooled down, the ceramic shell is broken off and the sculpture is revealed.
Now the sprues are removed, the surfaces are polished, patinated and numbered by the artist himself or, to his specifications, by a specialist. Thus, each casting becomes an original work.
For lower-quality bronze castings, the sand casting method is often used which, however, does not achieve the results of a more complex lost-wax technique in terms of surface characteristics and quality.
Sculptural representation of person's head and shoulders.

Term for an art object (sculpture, installation), which is produced in multiple copies in a limited and numbered edition according to the artist‘s will.
Artist's multiples have been called the most accessible and affordable art on the market.
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.
