Emil Wolff was a German sculptor . Wolff studied from 1815 at the Kunstakademie Berlin and from 1818 with his uncle Johann Gottfried Schadow . In 1821 he won the Academic Prize with a relief, which enabled him to go to Rome in 1822, where he remained from then on. He kept contact with Germany, however, and from Rome he also procured many pieces for the Prussian royal collection. In Wolff’s works, which follow the classical direction of Thorwaldsen , a refined sense of beauty of form is reflected. Among his genre figures are “The Hunter as a Birdman”, “Hunter with a Dog”, “The Warrior,” “The Seated Fisherman,” “The Shepherdess and the Shepherd Boy,” “The Spinner,” and ” The Tamburinschlägerin “as particularly good. Among his mythological representations are the following: ” Midas as Judge” (Relief, 1825), the marble relief of Charitas (1830), Telephos as a child suckled by the doe, the group of Hebe and Ganymed (1834), Thetis the Achilles (1838), an Amazon group in marble, Prometheus with the heavenly fire in the tube (1844), the Marmorgruppe: Viktoria, the youth in (at the Schlossbrücke in Berlin, 1846), the Marmorgruppe: Jephtha and his daughter (1858), Psyche after Amor’s flight, Judith (1868, Berliner Nationalgalerie). Wolff also exhibited several busts and portrait statues of famous persons, such as Bertel Thorwaldsen, Johann Joachim Winckelmann , Barthold Georg Niebuhr, and Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina.
