Johannes Böse (1856-1917)

The son of a carpenter, who was born in Silesia, studied wood carving and later attended the trade school in Gliwice. From 1877-83, Böse studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin as pupil of Fritz Schaper and Albert Wolff, whose masterclass he attended. From 1882 onwards he had his own studio, where he also took up pupils. In 1904 he became a professor. He regularly participated in exhibitions in Berlin. He created around 1200 busts and a large number of monumental works, including the statue of Albrecht II on the Siegesallee in Berlin.


Rosenthal (est. 1879)

The family-owned Rosenthal Porcelain Manufactory was established in 1879 by Philipp Rosenthal. Rosenthal is well-known for its pioneering efforts in product design and the worldwide success of its design shops. Thanks to a productive collaboration of designers and artists, Rosenthal launched a wide range of innovative products, which are considered design classics today. (nlu)
