On the relatively rare occasions when von Stuck sculpted, he was very good at it. This post includes three views of The Athlete, which some observers have described as a different take on Atlas.
We start with a very well formed derriere view.
This version of a frontal view is OK, but the one below is better.
I have always liked this piece and would love to have a reproduction of it. The original would be even nicer to own!
ReplyDeleteI think there are reproductions available on line.
