Default Sculpture by Arno Breker—one of Hitler’s favourite artists—found buried in Berlin museum garden

Sculpture by Arno Breker—one of Hitler’s favourite artists—found buried in Berlin museum garden


Sep 22, 2020

A marble sculpture of an outsized head by Arno Breker, one of Adolf Hitler’s favourite artists, has been discovered by chance in the garden of Kunsthaus Dahlem in Berlin, where it was probably buried by US troops 75 years ago.

The head, known as Romanichel, was produced in 1940 and is one of Breker’s best-known works. It was discovered with a second marble sculpture—also a larger-than-life head—that has yet to be identified, says Dorothea Schöne, the director of the Kunsthaus Dahlem. Schöne says the second work resembles Romanichel in style and is also thought to be by Breker.
