1906
unspecified
From the collection of Bucharest Municipality Museum
Ionan N. Lahovary is a 1906 unspecified by Frederic Storck, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This is a bronze relief with two scenes. On the left, a serious-looking man in a high-collared shirt faces forward, his hair neatly combed. Above him, a small landscape shows a ship sailing on water. On the right, a shirtless man struggles to lift a heavy beam over his shoulder, his muscles straining. The contrast between the calm portrait and the hard labor scene is striking. The artist carved deep into the metal to show light and shadow clearly. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this lighting effect works.
Frederic Storck was a Romanian sculptor. His father was the sculptor Karl Storck. His brother, Carol Storck, was also a sculptor and his wife, Cecilia Cuțescu-Storck was a painter.
