This custom bronze Samuel Fritz statue was made for a Peruvian client to honor Samuel Fritz for his great contribution to a small town in Peru. The height of the entire custom bronze statue is 206 cm, and the statue was finally installed in the central plaza of the town of Omaguas.
The client told us that the people in their town respect Samuel Fritz very much. Therefore, this statue is not only a memorial to Samuel Fritz but also an expression of people’s respect and love for Samuel Fritz.
Who Is Samuel Fritz?
Samuel Fritz is a Czech Jesuit missionary, famous for his exploration of the Amazon River and its basin. He spent most of his life preaching to indigenous communities in the western Amazon region, including Omaguas, Yurimaguas, Aisuare, Ibanomas, and Ticunas. In 1707, he drew the first accurate map of the Amazon River and determined the source of the Maranón River.
He is proficient in technical arts and handicrafts. He is also a doctor, painter, carpenter, and linguist, and he is good at interacting with Indians. He was very efficient and respected by the local people, and helped in the border dispute between the Peruvian Government House and Brazil.
Confirm the Design with Client:
Our professional sales staff first confirm the design of this custom bronze Samuel Fritz statue and other details with him. Because the client didn’t have much photo information about Samuel Fritz, only a picture of his half body. Therefore, after communicating with the client, we finally confirmed to use the design of the St. Joseph statue as a reference.
1:1 Clay Model Show:
And according to our client’s request, the overall design of the Samuel Fritz statue was determined by some modifications in the design of the Saint Joseph statue. The height of the entire custom bronze statue is 206 cm. Samuel Fritz holds a roll of his completed map in his hand, and his waist is tied with a belt of the cross.
Production Process:
Smooth Production Process:
Our clay model artist first made a 1:1 clay model based on the final design. Then our sales staff will send the finished clay sculpture to our client for confirmation. Because our clay model artist is very good at making custom figure clay model sculptures, he can restore the details and expressions of the figures in the most realistic way. Therefore, our client was very satisfied with our clay model sculpture and agreed to proceed to the next step.
In the subsequent sculpture casting, coloring, and waxing process, was also completed very smoothly. Because our masters master crafting and coloring skillfully. And in the 33 processes of bronze statue casting, our professional QC personnel will supervise and inspect the quality of the statue. The finished custom bronze statue will not show any quality problems.
