Product Description
Messerschmidt left behind 55, character heads; 17 in alabaster, 36 in metal (usually a tin-copper alloy), one in wood and one in limestone. Her never named them himself and just referred to them as 'heads'. The name they are known by now and the indication of the moods and characters they portray originated in an anonymous publication that appeared some ten years after his death. The statue head illustrates a Man Yawning . His furrowed brow and tight facial expression demonstrate Messerschmidt's profound talent at capturing a human gesture. This statue reproduction is part of the Parastone Mouseion 3D Collection of highly collectible museum reproductions. Franz Xaver Messerschmidt (1736-1783) Messerschmidt, who was born in Wiesinsteig in the Swabian Alps, learned the basics of Sculpture in Munich from his uncle Johann Baptist Straub, a prominent Rococo Sculpturer.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Almost as good as the original,
This review is from: A Strong Man Portrait Bust by Messerschmidt
I saw the recent Masserschmidt exhibit at the Neue Galerie in NYC. It is going to Paris next and then the heads will be seperated again. The last time they were all together was in the mid 1800's . I bought the two statues " The Strong Man" and " The Yawner" They are about 8" tall ( which is about half the size of the originals) as a Holiday gift to myself. They were send very quickly and I only wish they made more of them....................
