Martin Wolff (sculptor)

In 1880, his figure group "Theseus Finden die Waffen Seines Vaters" (Theseus Finding His Father's Weapons) brought him a scholarship to Paris.

From 1882 to 1883, he was in Rome and established his own studio upon returning to Berlin.

The late 1890s proved to be a hard time for artists and his financial distress was relieved only when he was given a commission to work on the Kaiser's Siegesallee (Victory Avenue) project, possibly based on his father's reputation.

His work earned him the Order of the Crown, Fourth Class.

Although he became very successful afterward, he never grew beyond the Academic style taught to him by his father.
