Corry Ammerlaan ‘Happy Family’ Bronze Sculpture

Dutch artist Corry Ammerlaan’s profound modernist bronze sculpture “Happy Family” captures the essence of family ties in long, abstract shapes. With its wings arcing protectively, the tallest figure shields two smaller figures: a child at its base and another in its embrace. Ammerlaan’s distinctive dark patina, which is accentuated with delicate bronze highlights, heightens the piece’s emotional impact. the children’s shapes convey unity and trust, while the tall guardian’s stance conveys strength and protection. Mounted on a simple base, including the artist’s mark. The hand of the father appears to be damaged.
