Nude Women Wrestling 1630 - 1665

"Nude Women Wrestling," a bronze sculpture by German artist Leonhard Kern, captures the intensity of a wrestling match. Created between 1630 and 1665, the work showcases Kern's mastery of anatomical detail and dynamic composition. The intertwined figures, their bodies straining in a moment of exertion, are a testament to the artist's understanding of human form and movement. This small-scale piece, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, provides a glimpse into Kern's artistic practice during the Baroque era.
