About the Item
Belle Époque austrian/viennese group of cold-painted small bronze sculptures of band/musician frogs
By: unknown
Material: bronze, paint, copper, metal
Technique: cast, cold-painted, hand-painted, molded, painted, metalwork
Dimensions: 1 in x 1 in x 1.5 in
Date: late 19th century, circa 1890
Style: Belle Époque, Jugendstil, Art Nouveau, Vienna Secession, Arts and Crafts
Place of origin: Austria
This late 19th century austrian bronze sculpture depicts a band of diminutive, hand-painted frog musicians. The cold-painted, cast bronze group includes a conductor with baton and music stand, an assistant holding sheet music, a violinist, a double bass player, a flautist and a percussionist. The figures exhibit the organic, nature-inspired forms and hand-craftsmanship associated with Vienna Secession and Jugendstil design in Austria during the Belle Époque era.
Emerging as a reaction against mass production, the Arts and Crafts aesthetic in Vienna at the turn of the century emphasized the value of traditional construction techniques and artisanal skill. This whimsical bronze sculpture embodies the Belle Époque fascination with fantasy and fable while showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship of late 19th century viennese metalwork.
The figurines have some paint flaking off in certain areas, as well as marks from age and use over time as can be seen in the images.
