Detailed description

Sculpture "Europe and Bull", porcelain

Europa was in Greek mythology a Phoenician princess who was abducted by Zeus in the form of a bull and became the symbol for an entire continent. Peter Strang took this motif and turned it into an original sculpture that demonstrates the highest level of craftsmanship. The detailed porcelain object is created by pure handwork and contains several precisely coordinated firings. An exclusive collector's item in seven colours and additional gold painting for friends of classical antiquity - and for staunch supporters of the European idea. Limited to 49 copies. Size of the porcelain sculpture 23 x 39 x 12 cm (w/h/d). ars mundi Exclusive Edition.

About Peter Strang

German sculptor, born in 1936 in Dresden

Hardly any other sculptor has left his mark on the tradition-steeped Meissen porcelain, like Peter Strang. He was born in 1936 in Dresden, Germany, and is known for his wall sculptures, portraits and sculptures made of fine porcelain.

After his training at the State Porcelain Manufactory, Strang took up studies at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts and returned to the Meissen Manufactory in 1959 as a graduate sculptor. In 1973, he was appointed artistic director of the State Porcelain Manufactory. Since 2001, Strang has been working as a freelance artist. Throughout his career, he was awarded many prizes, such as the "Art Prize of the GDR", the "National Prize for Literature and Art" and the "Saxon Order of Merit".
