Hans Leinberger (c.1480-1531) - after - Sculpture

A remarkable bronze sculpture depicting the Figure of Death, inspired by the famous Memento Mori attributed to the German Renaissance sculptor Hans Leinberger (c. 1480–1531). The skeletal figure is depicted with remnants of flesh still attached to the body. The detailed anatomy and expressive pose create a powerful representation of mortality and the transience of life. The subject follows the Memento Mori tradition, serving as a symbolic reminder of the inevitability of death and the fleeting nature of human life. It is made of high-quality bronze and it is mounted on an elegant marble base. Dimensions: 34 x 14 x 12 cm. Weight: 3.4 kg. Signature: H. Leinberger Foundry stamp: yes. A distinctive and highly decorative sculpture inspired by an important work of Renaissance art.
