Being the last surviving evidence of many long-lost originals, the casts, some of which are 200 years old, are of great importance for the history of art.

The Quadriga is Berlin's most famous sculpture. Very few people are aware, however, that the Quadriga on the Brandenburg Gate is a replica. Today's version is based on a cast made in 1942. The plaster model, which was cast in 1957, is now being restored in a joint project involving the Gipsformerei, the Art Advisory Council of the German Bundestag and the Berlin State Office for the Preservation of Monuments. Johann Gottfried Schadow (1764 -1850) was the founder of the Berlin Sculpture School of Classicism and the creator of many important works.

The Baptismal Font from Siena

The Baptismal Font from Siena

In the crypt of the Bode-Museum, the Skulpturensammlung and the Gipsformerei are currently showing the collaborative exhibition “The Baptismal Font from Siena. History, Restoration and Reinstallation of a Plaster Cast Model”. At the centre of the exhibition is the historical plaster cast model of the baptismal font from the Baptistery of San Giovanni in Siena in the collection of the Gipsformerei. Since the 1870s, the Gipsformerei has been selling casts of the entire monument as well as of the reliefs and statuettes – and, most recently, of the so-called sportello, the small bronze door on the tabernacle with a relief of the Virgin and Child.
