Journey of a Soul to Heaven 1760 - 1770

"Journey of a Soul to Heaven," a porcelain sculpture produced by the Frankenthal Porcelain Manufactory between 1760 and 1770, depicts a soul being guided to Heaven by cherubs. The soul, a man in a flowing robe, reaches towards a cherub who pulls him up towards a heavenly realm. The use of porcelain and the intricate details, such as the painted features of the figures and the delicate draping of the robes, showcase the craftsmanship of the Frankenthal Manufactory, one of the leading porcelain producers in 18th-century Germany. This sculpture is a testament to the religious fervor and artistic skill that flourished in the era.
