The original sculpture of this artclone dates back to the Middle Ages and depicts Frederick II, Emperor of Swabia. In the 13th century, he established a "state of the art" court that welcomed the greatest scholars without discrimination based on religion or race. It was a place where every belief was respected, and all forms of art were nurtured. The great mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci was a regular guest to Frederick’s court, as well as astronomers, musicians, poets, doctors and philosophers. Frederick II also founded Naples University in 1224 and significantly advanced the renowned Medical School in Salerno.

The strong jawline, the deeply carved eyes, the crown above a band of hair that encircles the forehead, all these features are sculpted to enhance the regal image.

The detailed form of this artclone and its regal presence can complement minimalist furniture and sleek lines, adding a layer of cultural richness and historical intrigue.

the artclone process

Digitization

Museums and Private Collections partner with Artficial to preserve their sculptural masterpieces in digital format. We employ state-of-the-art scanning techniques to capture every detail of the original sculpture.

Archival

The digital file is permanently stored in the Artvault, our secure and robust database which serves as a repository for the scans of the world's sculptural masterpieces. The Artvault safeguards the precious file and metadata, ensuring the longevity and accessibility of these invaluable cultural artifacts.

Sustainable Production

With the digitalclone securely in place, we proceed to the production stage. Using our advanced 3D printing technology, we craft licensed artclones that replicate the original sculptures with exceptional accuracy using our durable plant-based filament. This made-to-order solution prevents waste and delivers the finished artclone with low turnaround times.

Preservation

As a result of this patented process, the owner of the licensed artwork receives royalty payments from Artficial with each sale. This arrangement preserves and promotes the world's sculptural masterpieces and cultural heritage.
