Jugenstil, Harlequin in Golden Mask, Vienna Bronze, Austria, circa 1900
About the Item
Dimensions: 4.33 high x 2.25 wide x 2.75 deep
This elegant desk-size statuette of a kneeled harlequin wearing a golden mask is a perfect example of the little masterpieces in cold-painted bronze, created in Vienna around 1900; during the short-lived Austrian Art Nouveau period, Jugenstil.
During that time a numerous cold-painted bronze objects d'art were made. Cold painted bronze refers to pieces cast in Vienna, and then decorated in several layers with so called dust paint; the know-how for the mix of this kind of paint has been lost since. The color was not fired hence ‘cold painted’.
Although usually designed by the leading artists of Jugenstil in Vienna, the actual painting process of these objects was carried out mainly by women working at home, a typical cottage industry.

- Paul Leibküchler, Sisyphus, German Jugenstil Bronze Sculpture, circa 1900By Paul LeibküchlerLocated in New York, NYThis extremely impressive depiction of Sisyphus, the figure from Greek mythology in darkly patinated bronze as an athletic male figure with energetic facial expression, wearing only a loincloth, stiffening a boulder over his right shoulder, on round, geometrically decorated plinth. In Greek mythology, Sisyphus was the king of Ephyra (now known as Corinth). He was punished for his self-aggrandizing craftiness and deceitfulness by being forced to roll an immense boulder up a hill only for it to roll down when they near the top, repeating this action for eternity. Through the classical influence on modern culture, tasks that are both laborious and futile are, therefore, described as Sisyphean labour. Signed by the artist on the plinth: “Leibküchler fec.” (for Paul Leibkuchler...Category
