Vier Tageszeiten, Bronze sculpture at Brühl's Terrace, Dresden, Germany and stone sculpture in Chemnitz Castle Park, Germany
Four Times of Day comprises two different sculpture groups, one in bronze in Dresden and one in sandstone in Chemnitz. Each consists of male and female figures with children, arranged to show different phases of a day.
Sculptor Johannes Schilling created the original sandstone figures in 1868 for Dresden's Bruehl Terrace. In 1936 they were moved to Chemnitz and replaced by bronze copies, which remain at the original Dresden location today.
The figures show moments from daily life where work, rest, and joy come together. Visitors can see how the sculptor combined male and female figures with children to express different sides of human experience.
The sandstone versions in Chemnitz underwent extensive restoration between 2010 and 2011, including desalination treatments and replacement of damaged sections. The sculptures are accessible year-round but remain outdoors and are affected by weather and time.
The works won first prizes at the 1869 Vienna Art Exhibition and led to them replacing earlier lion sculptures by Christian Gottlieb Kuehn on Bruehl Terrace. This artistic recognition made them an important example of artistic exchange between German cities in the 19th century.
