Eugen Sandow (1867-1925), considerado el padre del culturismo moderno fue el primer deportista que hizo exhibici\u00f3n de su musculatura y el primer organizador de competiciones f\u00edsico culturistas a principios del siglo XX en el Royal Albert Hall con \u00e9l mismo, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle y Sir Charles Lawes como jueces.<\/p>\n
He was a really strong man, even compared to today's bodies. He could lift a 110kg dumbbell with one arm in the bench press movement. His physical development was so spectacular that he was exhibited at the World Columbian Exposition in 1894 as a muscular-building artist who suggested the grace and form of the ancient statues of Classical Greece.<\/p>\n

Sandow naci\u00f3 en la ciudad prusiana de K\u00f6nigsberg en 1867 de padres jud\u00edos y se interes\u00f3 en la forma f\u00edsica cuando visit\u00f3 Italia cuando era ni\u00f1o. Dej\u00f3 Prusia, ir\u00f3nicamente para evitar el servicio militar, y viaj\u00f3 mucho, llegando finalmente a Bruselas, donde fue asesorado por el hombre fuerte Ludwig Durlacher, quien actu\u00f3 bajo el seud\u00f3nimo de Profesor Atilla. Sandow finalmente lleg\u00f3 a Inglaterra y se cas\u00f3 con una inglesa. En 1889, apareci\u00f3 en el escenario del music-hall brit\u00e1nico cuando derrot\u00f3 a otro extravagante hombre fuerte en un concurso de levantamiento de pesas y rompimiento de cadenas. Su fama se aceler\u00f3 y recorri\u00f3 el mundo, pero finalmente se instal\u00f3 en Inglaterra, donde los grandes y los buenos siguieron sus reg\u00edmenes de acondicionamiento f\u00edsico. Incluso se convirti\u00f3 en instructor f\u00edsico del rey Jorge V. Curiosamente, Sandow midi\u00f3 las proporciones de las estatuas antiguas y formul\u00f3 su propio \u00abideal griego\u00bb que intent\u00f3 aplicar a su propio f\u00edsico.<\/p>\n
Frederick William Pomeroy was a key member of the New Sculpture Movement which revolutionised British sculpture towards the end of the 19th century. British sculpture was fundamentally changed with the arrival of the French artist Jules Dalou in 1871, who taught the art of figurative sculpture to his students. This had a profound impact on Lord Leighton who, in 1877, unveiled his Athlete Wresting with a Python, in which a muscled youth is frozen in a death match with a deadly snake. Sculptors such as Alfred Gilbert, Harry Bates, and of course, Pomeroy sought to capture naturalistic renderings of human anatomy, in contrast to the impressionistic style of their Parisian contemporaries.<\/p>\n

Pomeroy\u2019s choice of Sandow as a model should be seen as fitting into this narrative. However, it differs from many of the idealised nudes of Gilbert, Leighton and Bates, in being a contemporary portrait of a distinctly fin-de-si\u00e8cle phenomenon: the strongman with his barbells. Appropriately, \u2018enhanced\u2019 casts of Pomeroy\u2019s Sandow are still awarded to winners of the Mr Olympia competition (International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness) to this day. The present cast is a particularly beautiful period example with a rich brown patina in very good condition.<\/p>\n

Pomeroy entered the Royal Academy Schools in 1880 and in 1885 won the Gold Medal travelling scholarship. After studying with Marius-Jean-Antonin Merci\u00e9 in Paris and travelling in Italy, he returned to London and began to exhibit with the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society (1888). Pomeroy was an exponent of the New Sculpture and like many of his contemporaries he executed ideal figures drawn from mythology and literature showing the twin influences of Renaissance Italy and contemporary France. Typical works include the bronze Dionysius (1890; London, Tate) and Love the Conqueror (1893; Liverpool, Walker A.G.). Numerous strongly modeled monumental works in bronze include Robert Burns (1894; Paisley), Dean Hook (1901; Leeds) and four colossal figures (1905) for Vauxhall Bridge, London. Pomeroy was made ARA in 1907, Master of the Art Workers\u2019 Guild in 1908, a council member of the Royal Society of British Sculptors in 1914 and RA in 1917.<\/p>\n
