New perspectives on a noteworthy sculptor within German Classicism.
Johann Gottfried Schadow (1764–1850) was once the most famous artist in Prussia. This book, edited by Yvette Deseyve and featuring a contribution by Sintje Guericke, uncovers new aspects of Schadow’s art and workshop.
After training with a prominent court sculptor, Jean-Pierre-Antoine Tassaert, Schadow eventually became the secretary of the Prussian Academy of Art and the founder of the Berlin School of Sculpture. An entrepreneurial success, Schadow enjoyed a steady, bourgeois existence as well as several extraordinary artistic achievements. His most important works include the chariot atop the Brandenberg Gate and The Princess Group, a life-size depiction of Prussian Crown Princess Luise and her sister Friederike. This statue, notable in part because it depicts women from history, has since gained renown as a monumental work of Early Classicism. Johann Gottfried Schadow: Embracing Forms shares fresh insights into the artist’s career, studio, and legacy.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Johann Gottfried Schadow's Princess group has gone down in the annals of art history. As the first statue of two female historical personalities it testifies to the innovation, enormous artistry and productivity of sculpture workshops in the 19th century - a symbol of the important sculpture of German Classicism. In around 1800 Johann Gottfried Schadow (1764-1850) was the most famous artist in Prussia. More than most others he knew how to combine the outstanding position as court sculptor with entrepreneurial success and a steady bourgeois existence, and thereby to cultivate an international network. The artist himself modelled, drew, wrote art-theoretical treatises and was the head of the Berlin Academy, one of the most important art schools of the time. The monograph opens new perspectives onto the brilliant creativity of the great sculptor and his workshop.

"In der Schau genießt man in vollen Zügen Schadows lebensnahe, sinnliche Darstellungsweise, die sich in der fulminanten Wiedergabe des Stofflichen und der von ihm fast obsessiv erforschten, menschlichen Proportionen findet" (Frankfurter Rundschau). Johann Gottfried Schadows "Prinzessinnengruppe" hat Kunstgeschichte geschrieben. Als erstes Standbild zweier weiblicher historischer Persönlichkeiten legt es Zeugnis ab für Innovation, enorme Kunstfertigkeit und Produktivität von Bildhauerwerkstätten des 19. Jahrhunderts - ein Sinnbild für die bedeutende Bildhauerei des deutschen Klassizismus. "Eine Entdeckungsreise in die preußische Kunst" (F.A.Z.). - Um 1800 war Johann Gottfried Schadow (1764-1850) der berühmteste Künstler Preußens. Wie kaum ein anderer verstand er es, die herausragende Stellung des Hofbildhauers mit unternehmerischem Erfolg und einer soliden bürgerlichen Existenz zu verbinden und dabei ein internationales Netzwerk zu pflegen. Der Künstler selbst modellierte, zeichnete, schrieb kunsttheoretische Traktate und leitete die Berliner Akademie, eine der bedeutendsten Kunsthochschulen seiner Zeit. Der monografische Band eröffnet neue Perspektiven auf das virtuose Schaffen des großen Bildhauers und seine Werkstatt. - Johann Gottfried Schadows "Princess group" has gone down in the annals of art history.
