Annotation
This naked young boy was initially greeted by public outcry in 1895, when local sculptor Matthias Gasteiger refused to supply him with a fig leaf, even when Prince Regent Luitpold personally asked for it - the artist was king in München! nevertheless, he went on to win the gold medal at a prestigious international sculpture competition in Paris and is today Munich's best-loved fountain
Sculptor
- Matthias Gasteiger (München 1871-München 1934), German sculptor (München-Wiki).
