Fritz Diller was born in 1875 and was a German sculptor.
He is recognized for his sculptures, particularly of animals, often crafted from bronze, porcelain, and other materials like cast iron.
His work has been sold at auction numerous times. Diller was a sought-after artist who collaborated with significant manufacturers such as Rosenthal, WMF, Metzler & Ortloff, and Nymphenburg.
He was a passionate hunter and maintained connections with dog breeding associations, even serving as a judge at dog shows. This intimate familiarity with animals is evident in the naturalism and detail present in his artwork.

Style Art Nouveau
The name "Art Nouveau" in French means "new art." It is also known as “Jugendstil” in Germany. In contrast, in Vienna and Italy it is called "Liberty".
It employs curvilinear designs with sinuous, asymmetrical lines, often based on plant forms, as well as stylized female silhouettes.
The style was used in architecture, interior design, glassware, jewelry, sculpture, painting, furniture, posters, and illustration.
New materials were introduced, such as opals and semi-precious stones.
The Art Nouveau style had its greatest momentum at the Universal Exposition of 1900 in Paris.
After that, it spread throughout Europe, the United States, and Australia.
In Paris, you can see the metro entrances, and in Belgium, its countless buildings.
