Sculpture, Anatomical Brain - 24 cm - Wood, Resin

Anatomical Brain Sculpture – Attributed to Quinten van Geest In excellent condition – No reserve. Decorative anatomical sculpture depicting a human brain in sagittal section, executed as a solid resin casting with a dark, bronzed patinated finish. The sculpture is mounted on an architectural stepped base, giving it a strong vertical presence and a balanced, museum-style display. The work is attributed to Quinten van Geest, a contemporary artist known for exploring the human brain at the intersection of neuroscience, technology, and art. This attribution is based on stylistic similarities to contemporary brain-themed artworks. No signature, edition number, or accompanying documentation is present; the attribution is therefore made in good faith but cannot be guaranteed. The detailed rendering of the cerebral folds and the exposed internal structures reflects clear inspiration from classical medical and anatomical teaching models, translated here into a sculptural object with strong decorative and conceptual appeal. The dark patina enhances the relief and gives the piece a sober, almost archaeological character. Likely produced in the late 20th century as a high-quality decorative or study object rather than an academic medical model. Particularly suitable for collectors of curiosities, anatomical objects, contemporary-inspired sculpture, or design-focused interiors. Details Materials: Wood, Resin Dimensions: 24 × 14 × 7.5 cm (height × width × depth) Condition: Excellent condition; no cracks, no restorations, clean and stable Period: Late 20th century Design: Attributed to Quinten van Geest A striking and thought-provoking object that combines scientific imagery with sculptural presence — a true eye-catcher for a study, library, or curated interior.
