Few Dutch sculptors risked depicting romantic themes in the 19th century. Stracké’s Sleeping Beauty is, therefore, quite exceptional. He captured the fairy-tale princess in her deep, 100-year sleep, after she had pricked her finger on an enchanted spindle. She is rendered so realistically that the statue seems alive, as if she could awaken any moment.
