A pencil drawing of the “Fechter” / “Fencer” marble statue made by Fritz Heinemann, c. 1900.
A perfect example of German Neoclassicism, depicts an athletic warrior, heroic, standing naked examining carefully a sword, laurel wreathed head, on a round, ornamentally decorated plinth. The sword is insert made of metal.
This statue is focused around proportion, poise, and the idealized perfection of the human body.
It’s aesthetic attitude is based on the art of Greece and Rome in antiquity, which invokes harmony, clarity, restraint, universality, and idealism.
