One of the most successful women sculptors in Berlin since the 1920s, Renée Sintenis was a distinguished sculptor of animals: the emblematic "Berlin Bear" was her design. She is also known for her portrait sculpture and figures of athletes. Sintenis' success grew during the 1920s, culminating in her 1926 bronze Der Läufer von Nurmi [The Runner from Nurmi], for which she was awarded the 1932 Olympia Prize. Renée Sintenis was one of the few women artists of her day to be appointed to the Prussian Academy of Art (1931).
