Adolf von Hildebrand

Adolf von Hildebrand was a German sculptor of the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries, a representative of academism. He was also fond of architecture, painting, graphics and medallions.

Adolf von Hildebrand is also known as an authoritative art theorist, his fundamental work "The Problem of Form in Fine Art," first published in 1892, was subsequently translated into dozens of foreign languages.

Hildebrand spent much of his life outside Germany. In Italy he was strongly impressed by the work of the best masters of antiquity and the Renaissance. Soon, together with a group of like-minded people, he founded the "Roman circle". The members of this creative association urged their colleagues to abandon decadent attitudes in favor of the true values of ancient art.

In recognition of his achievements, the King of Bavaria knighted Hildebrand at the end of his life and the aristocratic prefix "von" was added to his name. The sculptor's works have survived in many European cities, but his most famous architectural and sculptural works are in Munich.
