Om skulpturen
This terracotta group depicts Venus and Cupid. Produced by Valentin Sonnenschein in Switzerland c.1780-1810, it is signed on the back of the rock, 'V. Sonnenschein'. The Stuttgart sculptor (Johann) Valentin Sonnenschein (1749-1828) was an important sculptor, modeller, stuccoist and teacher, working at the porcelain factory in Ludwigsburg from 1770 to1775. Against the orders of Duke Karl Eugen von Württemberg he fled to Zurich in 1775, where he worked at the porcelain factory there. In 1779 he settled in Bern, where he spent the rest of his life. The present group resembles ceramic figures, and could plausibly have been made as a model for a porcelain group.
