Large Antique Austrian Cold-Painted Bronze Figurative Sculpture by Bergman

About the Item

Large antique Austrian cold-painted bronze figurative sculpture by Bergman Austrian, c. 1910 Height 33cm, width 19cm, depth 14cm Depicting an unusual composition, this Viennese cold-painted bronze was crafted by Franz Xaver Bergman (1861-1936). He was one of the best Austrian artists of the period. An Arab man is looking surprised at what he has just witnessed. The eyes and mouth wide open, accentuate the feeling of shock. His arms are extended to the sides as he is standing on a rocky outcrop. His body posture might suggest that he became scared of whatever appeared in front of him. He is dressed in traditional Orientalist-style clothing, the cold-painting technique highlighting the individual parts of the sculpture. The piece stands on a pared-down round bronze plinth. On the reverse, it is stamped with the following maker’s marks: a ‘B’ in an urn-shaped cartouche, ‘GESCHUTZ’, ‘BERGMANN’ and ‘2607’. Showcasing Bergman’s creativity and skill, this cold-painted bronze sculpture would make a superb addition to one’s collection of pieces of this type.

The Bronze mounted upon a squared green onyx base with a convex beading border. The horse beautifully cast with naturalistic features modelled as a big brown stallion inclusive of its brown to black hue. The horse stamped to the belly Geschutzt with the registration mark 2740. We firmly attribute the Austrian Bronze to Franz Bergman and date it to the late 19th century circa 1890. Franz Xavier Bergman (1861-1936) was the owner of a Viennese foundry who produced numerous patinated and cold-painted bronzes with a range of subjects such as oriental, erotic, and animal figures. He was probably the most famous Austrian bronze foundry who is widely recognised for smaller cold painted bronzes with an extremely good attention to detail. Signed often with a ‘B’ or Bergman and a registration mark. Geschutzt often stamped or printed it is pronounced “guess-shutst.” It is an abbreviation of the term gesetzlich geschutt which is a German phrase that translates as legally protected or in other words copywriter. It bares is a similar meaning to the English word Patented or French Depose...
