Full Description
This exhibition catalogue presents a first comprehensive tribute to Daniel Neuberger. The versatile artist worked as a sculptor, painter, stone cutter and writer and achieved his greatest mastery in wax bossing, the art of sculptural moulding using wax. His delicate works, often measuring only a few centimetres, were particularly sought after by the royal courts of Europe.
The catalogue sheds light on Neuberger's activities at the imperial court in Vienna between 1650 and 1663, where he worked for Emperor Ferdinand III and his sons as a wax sculptor, portraitist and gem cutter. The exhibition features two of his most important works, a 60-part cycle of the Metamorphoses after Ovid and an allegorical depiction of the death of Emperor Ferdinand III. Supplemented by a comprehensive art-historical and conservation analysis, this publication provides an in-depth insight into Neuberger's work and favoured technique.
