This famous piece entitled "Descending Night" was crafted by German sculptor, Adolph A. Weinman. It depicts a beautiful nude angel. Her head tilted downward, her fingers are combing through her hair that cascades in soft waves down her back. Crafted with exquisite detail, the angels wings spread wide from her back. The body features a very feminine angel with distinctive curves and lines that define womanhood. It is signed A.A Weinman. "Descending Night", and its companion work, "Rising Day" were originally designed as fountain figures fort he 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco. Following the exhibition, Weinman reproduced both works in two sizes, one measuring approximately 24 inches tall and the other approximately 57 inches. Weinman won many awards during his life, including the Fine Arts Medal of the American Institute of Architects (1930), the Honorary Presidency and Medal of Honor of the National Sculpture Society (1948), and Gold Medal from the Architectural League of New York (1913), Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (1924), and the National Academy of Design (1945). He also served as president of the National Sculpture Society from 1928 to 1931, and was a member of the New York City Art Commission from 1924 to 1928, and the National Commission of Fine Arts from 1928 to 1932. In 1911, he was elected a full member of the National Academy of Design, and was later a member of the American Numismatic Society and the American Academy of Arts and Letters. A.A. Weinman died at Port Chester, New York, on August 8, 1952 after an outstanding career bringing honor to himself and his adopted country.

Hi folks, I am a figure artist living in a very conservative community where the local art venues are reluctant to exhibit the simplest nudes. To see your array of uncensored realism is encouraging. The one piece I have received from you will hopefully be the beginning of my collection.

Lady Justice

I ordered Lady Justice for a very special occasion, I was not disappointed. Before I ordered her, I spent a lot of time looking at different sites worldwide, and decided on Bronzhaus. Ordering/Delivery/Cost were seamless.
I live in Ontario Canada, and delivery was prompt and fast(4 days).
She came wrapped so snug and packed, there was no movement at all, even though Custom's inspection made the box look damaged, she wasn't. The detail is perfect, the colouring is beautiful and varied. Some spots on the finish look "rough" but either by design or accident, this does not deter from her beauty, if anything it gives it a historic weathered look, and makes her look more authentic and regal. Overall, very happy and will be appreciated as a gift.

Another keeper

The ballerina goes so well with the Cirque du Soleil trapeze work. I now have three stick figures from Bronzhaus (I have others that are not stick figures). I love art. I love sculpture. I love beauty. I have several other bronzes for which I have paid in excess of $10,000. I have had other artist friends of mine, when they are making a delivery or just coming for a visit and they always notice the bronzes. Not one of them has ever questioned, criticized or denigrated these works. I do avoid, however, the copies that are well-known in their original state. But for now I am very much enjoying the extra "bay leaf" in the artistic meatloaf that these bronzes bring to my home and garden.

Skeleton Thinker

This is a marvelous parody of Rodin's The Thinker. It is well made and detailed. Would make a nice bookend or desktop art object.

Descending night

Descending Night is the most beautiful, the most sensual statue I have ever seen. I feel in love with this piece of art when I first saw an original at Hearst Castle in 1976. I searched for a replica for many years. I am delighted to have found my replica made by Bronzhaus. It is exquisite! Everyone who visits my home remarks that Descending Night is supremely gorgeous.
