Limited Masterworks Art Nouveau Clock with Helianthemum

The hand-painted decorated clock in Art Nouveau style with sun rose from 1897 - reissued for the first time and limited as part of the edition "Limited Masterpieces 2019". An outstanding work of art by the Meissen Art Nouveau modeler Konrad Julius Hentschel. In typical manner of that era, Hentschel succeeded in harmoniously combining functionality and decoration, thus giving this work of art a place in everyday life. Organic sweeps of form, muted pastel tones, and the motivic turn to nature and mysticism capture the spirit of the times in this limited edition clock. Only the hand-painted, fiery red hair of the nymph and the real gold dial in the shape of the eponymous sun rose set colorful accents. With his magnificent elaboration in porcelain, Hentschel was able to give expression to the guiding principle of Art Nouveau, "To time its art" in a refined and masterful way.
