Sculpture “The Resting Girl” (1826), artificial marble

The Quadriga atop the Brandenburg Gate is Schadow's most famous work. But with the sculpture of the reclining girl, the leading figure of German Classicism brought his oeuvre to a crowning conclusion: it is the magnificent summary of his life's work, in which his artistic principles are perfectly united.

Special feature(s) / Context / About the artist:

Johann Gottfried Schadow was the most important German sculptor of the Napoleonic era. Trained in the royal workshop, he became head of the court sculpture workshop and "Director of all Sculptures" in 1788. Schadow's work increasingly incorporated realistic, national, and individual elements alongside the classical ideal. His classically idealized and lifelike style became a guiding principle for the 19th century.
