Skulptur

Literatur des 17. bis 19. Jahrhunderts – Vgl. Mc Daniel-Odendall, 32 - Caspar Bernhard Hardy beschäftigte sich neben seiner Tätigkeit als Priester auch mit der Malerei, arbeitete als Wachsbossierer, Emailleur und fertigte zudem physikalische Instrumente. Seine fein ausmodellierten Wachsbossierungen zeugen von seiner Fähigkeit im künstlerischen Umgang mit dem Material. Die kunstvolle Bearbeitung Hardys, die anhand der samtigen Textur des Wachses entstehenden, lebendigen und detailreichen Strukturen verleihen den dargestellten Figuren je einen expressiven, nahezu organischen Charakter.- Mit oberflächlichen Anschmutzungen, Figur sowie Staffage mit Bruch sowie größeren Defekten. Insgesamt noch gut.

Literature of 17th to 19th Century – Relief sculpture made of colored wax and wire. Displayed in a gilded wooden box under glass. - In addition to his position as a priest, Caspar Bernhard Hardy was also a painter, worked as a sculptor and enameller and also manufactured physical instruments. His finely sculpted wax sculptures reflect his artistic skill with the material. Hardy created lively and detailed structures in the velvety texture of the wax, giving the figures depicted an expressive, almost natural character. - With superficial soiling, figure and staffage with fracture and larger defects. Still good overall.
