Dottore

Bronze · 1995

In this sculpture, Metzler pays tribute to a central figure of our social life: the doctor, portrayed with his iconic stethoscope. But as always in the artist's work, behind the apparent simplicity of the subject lies a deeper reflection. Metzler's Dottore is not only a physician. He is a symbol of care, of listening and presence. A figure embodying the passage between fragility and hope, between body and mind, themes Metzler explored constantly. This figure of the doctor could also be read as a spiritual self-portrait of the artist himself: the one who listens to the world, observes it, interprets it, and heals it through art. In an age of noise and disconnection, Metzler invites us to look again with attention, to discover the sacred in the everyday.
