Jaroslav Krepčík (1880 - 1959) ALLEGORY OF MOTHERHOOD AND SUMMER

Around the 1920s, we find in Jaroslav Krepčík's work an interest in the realistically conceived female nude, which he capitalized on with his realizations from the late 1920s and early 1930s, when he was awarded several public commissions. These were mainly three sets of allegories on the facades of important buildings in Prague and Banská Bystrica. The two allegorical chamber bronze sculptures on offer represent typical work by this pupil of Myslbek. The dimensions shown include the plinth made of Slivenec marble.
