Monna Vanna. Um 1920/22.
Bronze with dark brown patina.

Cast by C. Leyrer, Munich (with the foundry stamp on the reverse of the base's foot).
• Through the concentrated form and the reduced motion, Stuck pursued a path in sculpting towards Art Déco.
• The figure of Monna Vanna, heroine of Renaissance literature and Symbolism, unites all of Stucks's sources of inspirations.
• Ever since the rare bronze was acquired from the artist it has been family-owned and is now offered on the auction market for the first time.
PROVENANCE: Private collection Bavaria (acquired directly from the artist, ever since familly-owned).
