Sitzender Keiler, Bronze sculpture near Deutsches Jagd und Fischereimuseum, Munich, Germany
The Sitzender Keiler is a bronze sculpture of a seated wild boar rendered with careful anatomical detail and textured surface. It stands directly in front of the German Hunting and Fishing Museum on Neuhauser Street, where it forms a key part of the outdoor artistic setting.
Martin Mayer created the original version in 1960 for the Borstei residential complex, where it remains today. A second bronze casting was placed in front of the hunting museum in 1976 to bring the work to a wider audience.
This bronze sculpture connects to Germany's tradition of depicting hunting and wildlife in art. It shows how people valued nature and animals in their artistic expression.
The sculpture sits on public ground and is free to view year-round. It is located in a pedestrian area, making it easy to approach and see from all sides.
The work draws inspiration from Pietro Tacca's Florentine Porcellino but shows Martin Mayer's distinctive take on a seated wild boar. Alongside it stands a catfish sculpture that adds an aquatic element to the hunting and wildlife theme.
