Emil Wolff
(1802 Berlin - 1879 Rom)
Herkules als Knabe
Weißer Carrara-Marmor. Sign. u. dat. 1848 mit Ortsangabe Rom. Vollplastische, bildhauerisch subtil ausgeführte Darstellung des antiken Götterhelden als in ein Löwenfell gewandeter Knabe, auf einer ovalen Plinthe stehend und sich auf eine Keule stützend, in der linken Hand einen Pinienzapfen haltend. Wolff zählt zu den bedeutendsten deutschen Bildhauern des 19. Jhs. Er studierte ab 1815 an der Kunstakademie in Berlin und ab 1818 bei seinem Onkel Johann Gottfried Schadow. 1822 ging er nach Rom, wo er fortan blieb, aber zu Berlin weiterhin in Verbindung blieb. 1832 wurde er Mitglied der Preußischen Akademie der Künste. Stilistisch und in seinen Themen schloss sich Wolff der klassizistischen Richtung Thorvaldsens an und widmete sich vornehmlich antiken bzw. mythologischen Motiven. Zu den mit dieser Skulptur vergleichbaren Werken gehört seine 1836 geschaffene Statue des Eros, der sich ebenfalls in ein Löwenfell gewandet hat und auf eine Keule stützt. Späterer, kubischer Marmorsockel. Skulpturen-H. 97 cm; Sockel-H. 45 m.
White Carrara marble sculpture of Hercules as a boy. Signed and dated 1848 with location Rome. Accompanied by an additional marble base.
