Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen Bust
Material: bio-polymer (partly hollow)
Total height: 35 cm / 14 inches
Net Weight: 0.8 kg
For our bust of Roentgen, we used two photos as a template, which were taken at the end of the 19th century. We also tried to capture Roentgens character in the bust. The scientist is described as an introvert who only had a few close friends who knew him really well. He was an extremely conscientious scientist who did every aspect of his work with great perseverance and remarkable accuracy. Sometimes he is said to have been so immersed in his work that he was hardly accessible.
Accordingly, we did not depict Roentgen with a visionary gaze into the distance, as is often the case with busts, but with his head and gaze tilted slightly downward, turned inward and focused on his inner thoughts. From one of the photos we took over his slightly strict and at the same time somewhat worried look. With this version we hope that our bust can do justice to Roentgen as a scientist as well as a private person.
Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen
(born March 27, 1845 in Remscheid, died February 10, 1923 in Munich)
Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen was a German physicist. On November 8, 1895, he discovered the X-rays, for this he received the first Nobel Prize ever awarded in Physics in 1901. His discovery revolutionized medical diagnostics, among other things, and led to other important findings of the 20th century, e.g. the discovery and research of radioactivity.
Freight costs for world-wide (non EU) shipments vary depending on destination. Prices are available on request.

We have sculpted more than 2500 different busts and so we think that we certainly are the sculptors who modeled the most busts Europe wide. With this experience, we have constantly optimized our work flow as listed below.
Of course, you are cordially invited to visit us in our studio in Mülheim/Ruhr to see the different variations and finishes. We would be please to advise you!
Sculpting
We sculpt the bust on the computer in contrast to the traditional sculptors and modellers. We use ultra-modern and even self-developed software. Of course, educated artists sculpt the bust.
Manufacturing the bust
For the production of the real bust we use several 3D printers.
Shipping
Your bust will be carefully packed and despatched via DPD or DHL.
Of course, we also send your bust abroad. We have shipped our busts safely even to customers in Brazil and Australia.
