Robert Toberentz (born 4 December 1849 in Berlin; d. 31 July 1895 in Rostock) was a German sculptor.
He frequented the Prussian Academy of Arts in Berlin from 1867 to 1869. He then studied under Johannes Schilling in Dresden and from 1872 to 1875 in Rome. After his return to Berlin, he became a follower of Reinhold Begas, in whose manner he executed, among other works, the bronze figure of a "Shepherd Resting" (1878, Alte Nationalgalerie).
In 1879 he was appointed director of a master studio for sculptors connected with the Breslau Museum (German: Schlesisches Museum für bildende Künste), resigned in 1884, and after living in America in 1885–89, returned to Berlin in 1890 and became professor in 1895. He completed the "Luther Monument" of Paul Otto, in Berlin, modeled the equestrian statue of Frederick Barbarossa for the Kaiserhaus at Goslar, and made the statue of Frederick the Great for the Royal Palace in Berlin. He also fashioned several masterly life-size nude figures, such as an "Ancient Greek Maiden Sculptor" and "Girl Asleep on a Couch.”

A quadriga is a car or chariot drawn by four horses abreast and favoured for chariot racing in classical antiquity and the Roman Empire. The word derives from the Latin quadrigae, a contraction of quadriiugae, from quadri-: four, and iugum: yoke. In Latin the word quadrigae is almost always used in the plural and usually refers to the team of four horses rather than the chariot they pull. In Greek, a four-horse chariot was known as τέθριππον téthrippon.

Ernst Heinrich Barlach was a German expressionist sculptor, medallist, printmaker and writer. Although he was a supporter of the war in the years leading to World War I, his participation in the conflict made him change his position, and he is mostly known for his sculptures protesting against the war. This created many conflicts during the rise of the Nazi Party, when most of his works were confiscated as degenerate art. Stylistically, his literary and artistic work would fall between the categories of twentieth-century Realism and Expressionism.
