Amor, Decorative sculpture at Tiefurt House, Germany

Amor als Nachtigallenfütterer is a sculpture in the park of Schloss Tiefurt near Weimar, standing on a small square laid out in 1782 by Duchess Anna Amalia. The visible figure is a copy, attributed to court instrument maker Jakob August Otto, of a 1784 work by court sculptor Martin Gottlieb Klauer; unlike Klauer's winged original, this copy lacks wings and differs slightly in arm position. Amor feeds a nightingale with his love arrow, and beneath the figure a grotto-like niche holds a resting bench.

The figure was modelled in 1784 by court sculptor Martin Gottlieb Klauer; from 1796 his workshop reproduced it in fired clay and porcelain, making it one of his best-selling products. The version now in Tiefurt is a copy, attributed by the Klassikstiftung Weimar to court instrument maker Jakob August Otto (1760–1829), and differs from Klauer's original in its missing wings and arm position. The inscription beneath was mounted in its present untitled form in 1971.

The pedestal inscription is a version of Goethe's 1782 distich Philomele, published in 1785; the current wording was mounted in 1971. Goethe wrote the verse for Corona Schröter, whom he brought to Weimar in 1776, not for a bird. Below the figure, a grotto-like niche holds a bench that Georg Melchior Kraus painted in watercolour in 1797.

The sculpture stands outdoors in the park of Schloss Tiefurt, on a small square laid out in 1782 by Duchess Anna Amalia, not inside the house. Below the figure, a grotto-like niche holds a bench; Georg Melchior Kraus painted this niche in a watercolour in 1797. The monument is listed among the cultural monuments of Tiefurt.

The figure visible today is a copy made by court instrument maker Jakob August Otto (1760–1829); unlike Klauer's winged 1784 original, it lacks wings and differs in arm position. Klauer's workshop also sold fired-clay and porcelain versions, one of its most requested products.
