März 2009 Kommentare Einen Kommentar schreiben von Christian Boseckert Vor 100 Jahren starb einer der bekanntesten Coburger Künstler. Sein Name findet sich sogar in einem bekannten Internet-Lexikon und sucht man nach ihm in den bekannten Suchmaschinen, so finden sich zahlreiche Abbildungen seiner Werke. Gemeint ist hier der Bildhauer Ferdinand Lepcke, der am 23. März 1866 in Coburg, im Hause Leopoldstraße 27, geboren wurde. Sein Vater Ernst betrieb dort eine Gastwirtschaft, welche später den Namen „Himmelsleiter“ und „Neue Welt“ trug. Der junge Lepcke verlebte seine früheste Kindheit in der Leopoldstraße. Schon bald erkannte man sein künstlerisches Talent. Dieses zu fördern, machten sich seine Eltern zur Aufgabe. So schickten sie ihn nach Berlin, wo er im Atelier der Brüder Biber und an der Schule des Kunstgewerbemuseums seine Ausbildung zum Bildhauer erhielt. Von 1882 bis 1892 studierte er schließlich an der Berliner Kunstakademie und war dort Schüler des Bildhauers Fritz Schaper von dem viele Denkmäler in Deutschland stammten. Ferdinand Lepcke wurde bald ein bekannter Künstler seiner Zeit und schuf zahlreiche Broncestatuen, Grabdenkmäler, Marmorbüsten und Denkmäler bedeutender Männer. http://coburg -life.de/2009/03/coburger -kunstler -ferdinand -lepcke/ 2009 -09 -12 Coburger Künstler – Ferdinand Lepcke | coburg -life.de Strona 2 z 7 Die Bogenspannerin in der Bahnhofstraße (Sammlung Christian Boseckert) Bereits im Alter von 25 Jahren erhielt er 1891 den großen Staatspreis und wurde 1903 zum Professor ernannt.

Sculptures vary in sizes, and may be small enough to fit in the palm of a hand or large enough that they can only fit in a large outdoor space. Some sculptures are representative, and may look like a famous person; others may be abstract. The materials used in sculpture vary, and anything from ceramics, cement, recycled materials, paper or synthetics may be used to produce this particular type of art. By definition, a sculpture differs from other structures in that it does not have an intrinsically utilitarian purpose. HISTORY & ORIGIN Sculpture was used mainly as a form of religious art to illustrate the principles of Hinduism, Buddhism, or Jainism. The female nude in particular was used to depict the numerous attributes of the gods, for which it was often endowed with multiples heads and arms. Important milestones in the history of sculpture include: the Buddhist Pillars of Ashokaof the Mauryan period, with their wonderful carved capitals (3rd century BCE); the figurative Greco- Buddhist sculpture of the Gandhara and Mathura schools, and the Hindu art of the Gupta period (1st-6th century CE). In brief, the flow of the growth of sculpture is as follows: Indus Valley Civilization (c.3300-1300 BCE) Mauryan Sculpture: Pillars of Ashoka (3rd Century BC Ajanta Caves (c.200 BCE - 650 CE) Under the Kushans, sculpture from Gandhara and Mathura art went on to influence artists across India, Elephanta Caves (c.550-720) Pallava and Pandya Sculpture from South India (600-900) Ellora Caves (c.600-1000) Chandela Stone Sculpture in Central India (10th-13th century) Chola Bronze Sculpture of South India, Sri Lanka (9th-13th century) Famous Sculptures that impressed and inspired me 1) TheAshoka Pillars 2) SanchiStupa 3) Ajanta Caves 4).

Condition: In really excellent condition, please see photos for confirmation. Dimensions in cm: Height 8 x Width 29 x Depth 29 Dimensions in inches: Height 3.1 x Width 11.4 x Depth 11.4 Pietra dura is a term for the inlay technique of using cut and fitted, highly polished coloured stones to create images. It is considered a decorative art. Pietre dure is an Italian plural meaning "hard rocks" or hardstones; the singular pietra dura is also encountered in Italian. In Italian, but not in English, the term embraces all gem engraving and hardstone carving, which is the artistic carving of three-dimensional objects in semi-precious stone, normally from a single piece, for example in Chinese jade. The traditional convention in English has been to use the singular pietra dura just to denote multi-colored inlay work. However, in recent years there has been a trend to use pietre dure as a term for the same thing, but not for all of the techniques it covers, in Italian.
