Global InformationAlojz Rigele information
Alojz Rigele (8 February 1879 – 14 February 1940) was a Slovak sculptor and painter.[1] He spent most of his life working in today's Bratislava, where numerous examples of his statues survive to this day. Rigele was considered to be among the leading sculptors in Slovakia before World War I. His specialty was sculpture, especially portrait.
Together with Robert Kühmayer, Jozef Arpád Murmann and Alojz Stróbl, Alojz Rigele was part of a group of famous artists that influenced the art and architecture of the city of Bratislava.[2] This older generation of sculptors born before the 1900s often represented historical and social themes.[3] Rigele was an active member of the Pressburger Kunstverein group[4] and the Bratislava Beautification Association. The Alchymist from approximately 1920 is considered to be among Rigele's finest sculptures.
