Krumper's 'Flora', the personification of Spring, surmounted one of four fountains representing the Four Seasons in the Grotto Court of the Munich Residenz. A native of Weilheim, the artist was a pupil of Hubert Gerhard and, like him, a leading exponent of bronze sculpture in Augsburg and Munich. the brief flowering of which was cut short by the Thirty Years' War.
