Der Bergmann

Founder Cast by Roman Bronze Works
1903, cast by March 1907
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 765
Mit seinen Gemälden, Illustrationen, Skulpturen und Schriftstücken verdiente Remington sich einen Ruf als Chronist par excellence des alten amerikanischen Westens. Für Der Bergmann wählte der Künstler eine dramatische Episode im Alltag eines Trappers, der auf seinem Pferd einen fast senkrechten Hang hinabreitet. Beladen mit Ausrüstung – Bärenfallen, Axt, Schlafmatte und Gewehr – arbeiten Mensch und Pferd zusammen, um den gefährlich steilen Weg zu bewältigen. Diese Bronze präsentiert, wie die besten von Remingtons Statuetten, eine reiche Vielfalt an Texturen, von der ausgefransten Wildlederkleidung und dem haarigen Fell des Tieres bis zum felsartigen Sockel.
