Sculpture of Athena – Minerva in Emden

Probably the Dutch school of sculpture, 2nd quarter of the 18th century. sandstone Commissioned by the East Frisian princely house of Cirksena, whose male line died out in 1744, for the palace garden in the Aurich residence. They then came into East Frisian private ownership. The creator of the very impressive, classically posed, late Baroque figures is probably a sculptor from the Netherlands. In Minerva (Greek: Athena) one saw the militant patron of all sciences, arts and other skills of peace and war. This is also signaled by their attributes: the magnificently decorated (now damaged) helmet and the lance, which has been preserved in fragments, refer to the craft of war. The owl represents wisdom. The shield with the snake-haired head is that of Medusa, one of the three fearsome gorgons whose gaze petrified everyone it met. Located in the Ostfriesische Landesmuseum Emden
