Share:FacebookWhatsApp

Wenzel Profant (21 July 1913 – 20 January 1989) was a Luxembourgish sculptor. His work was included in the sculpture category of the art competition held alongside the 1936 Summer Olympics, an event that brought together artistic creation and sport and places his name within the context of those competitions.

Records of his training, his style and the overall extent of his output are scarce, so his career is known mainly through this Olympic participation. For that reason, any detailed assessment of his sculptural language is difficult with the information available. His case illustrates the presence of Luxembourgish artists in the international art circles linked to the Games during the interwar period.
