~Description~
Here we have an AWESOME Statue/ Bust of Friedrich Von Schiller. It is made
from SOLID BRONZE! The detail is just OUTSTANDING! This is the best Bronze
depiction of Schiller that I have seen in the last 30 years! Beautiful The
detail is incredible, the patina is warm & realistic. It is quite
impressive! It looks like the base at one time had either a square plinth of
wood or marble but it sits perfectly & looks great as it is so I did not
wish to change it. It is "as found" straight out of an early Estate & you
are getting it just as I found it! ENJOY! ~Friedrich Schiller~
********INFO******* Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller
(German) Born; 10 November 1759 - 9 May 1805) was a German poet, playwright,
historian, philosopher, and physician. Schiller is considered by most Germans to
be Germany's most important classical playwright. He was born in Marbach to a
devoutly Protestant family. Initially intended for the priesthood, in 1773 he
entered a military academy in Stuttgart and ended up studying medicine. His
first play, The Robbers, was written at this time and proved very successful.
After a brief stint as a regimental doctor, he left Stuttgart and eventually
wound up in Weimar. In 1789, he became professor of History and Philosophy at
Jena, where he wrote historical works. During the last seventeen years of his
life (1788-1805), Schiller developed a productive, if complicated, friendship
with the already famous and influential Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. They
frequently discussed issues concerning aesthetics, and Schiller encouraged
Goethe to finish works that he had left as sketches. This relationship and these
discussions led to a period now referred to as Weimar Classicism. Together they
founded the Weimar Theater. They also worked together on Xenien, a collection of
short satirical poems in which both Schiller and Goethe challenge opponents of
their philosophical vision. Don't miss out!
