Life-size bronze bust of Hermann Goering by well known German sculptor Hermann Joachim Pagels. (1876-1959) The bronze head measures approximately 12 1/2" tall, with an overall height of about 15", including the stepped marble base. The bronze was cast in Berlin at the Lauchhammer foundry. It is signed in the bronze “H.J. Pagels” and foundry stamped “Lauchhammer Bildguss 84”. Stylistically modern, the blank eyes give it a neoclassical look. It is one of the strongest portraits of Goering created during the Third Reich period. Pagels was a regular contributor to the annual Haus der deutschen Kunst exhibitions in Munich. One of his most well-known monumental works is "Huehnerdieb", (Chicken Thief) originally cast and placed as a fountain figure in the Aachen poultry market in 1913. It was scrapped in 1943 for the war effort, and in 1950 a second cast was made and installed, and it still stands today. Pagels portrait busts come on the market rarely and are by far some of the most sought-after.
The condition is excellent. The original base has a few minor chips, but finding one with an original base is almost impossible in any condition!
