About the Item
Unique and antique bronze and hard stone(base) sculpture of our Lord Jesus by Franz Seifert, Wien.
This breathtaking religious bronze bust sculpture by Austrian master Franz Seifert (1866–1951) is an extraordinary example of early 20th-century craftsmanship. Capturing a deeply moving representation of Christ crowned with thorns, the bust emanates both spiritual depth and serene dignity. The mastery evident in the cast — from the lifelike texture of the hair to the profoundly expressive facial features — is enhanced by a patina of museum quality, enriching its historical and artistic value. Resting on a finely polished hard stone base with minimal signs of use, the sculpture projects a harmonious balance and presence that is both visually captivating and emotionally stirring. Discovering a piece of this caliber, especially in such impeccable condition, is a rare privilege, and its serene aura ensures it will remain a profoundly meaningful addition to any collection.
About Franz Seifert (1866–1951)
Franz Seifert was a prominent Austrian sculptor, born in Vienna in 1866. He received his formal education at the prestigious Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, where he studied under influential masters of the neoclassical and realist traditions. Seifert emerged as a celebrated artist, renowned for his refined portraiture and religious sculptures, which combined technical mastery with emotional depth.
His work is distinguished by exceptional anatomical precision, a strong sense of aesthetic balance, and a spiritual resonance that remains palpable. Throughout his career, he received numerous public commissions and was actively involved in the Viennese art scene during the fin de siècle period. Working primarily in marble, bronze, and alabaster, Seifert’s sculptures were acquired by both ecclesiastical institutions and private collectors across Europe and beyond.
A signature by Franz Seifert is widely regarded as a hallmark of artistic excellence and historical significance. His legacy lives on through museum collections, private holdings, and rare masterpieces such as the bust of Christ presented here.

View AllMuseum Quality Hand Crafted Bronze Corpus of Jesus Christ fr Wall Mounting 19thC
Located in Lisse, NL
Stunning, one of a kind bronze corpus of Christ.
The meaning of this antique sculpture obviously needs no explanation. However, not everybody looks at the corpus of Christ with the same ideas and emotions. And each individual may also have different emotions and ideas depending on his or her state of mind at a certain moment in the day or at a certain time in his or her life. Besides that, every artist/sculptor may also have his or her own ideas of what he or she is trying to express and communicate. What is important to us, is that a work of religious art speaks to us. If it speaks to us then almost always there will also be someone else who sees the beauty, deeper meaning, quality, style and uniqueness. This particular corpus stands out for its exceptional physical details and its painful facial features. We also rarely seen an antique Christ sculpture...

Stunning & Powerful Altar Crucifix with Detailed Bronze Sculpture of Christ 1912
Located in Lisse, NL
Unique table crucifix and a wonderful work of religious art, dated 1912 and numbered.
For us the most powerful statement will always be 'the truth will set you free'. It is what we have learned most from the life of Christ and of His teachings and it is the one thing we always think about whenever we look at a crucifix. Anyone who has tried to break down his/her ego and found a clearer consciousness in the process knows how healing and rewarding that journey can be. After that you can only be grateful for all the good things that are bound to come your way. Good things will come your way, because the universe needs people like you. Whomever created this amazing work of religious art too must have been inspired and motivated by the life of Christ, because how ever could anyone create a piece that is of such quality, so beautiful and so powerful at the same time. Both the beautifully designed bronze cross with the King of the Jews inscription and the amazingly detailed bronze corpus of Christ are of a quality that you will only rarely find on the open market. They are perfectly mounted on a stunning marble base and together they create one of the most impressive table or altar crucifixes...

Antique Bronze Religious Art Sculpture / Statue Depicting Christ with Children
Located in Lisse, NL
19th century finest bronze group statue.
This excellent quality and very refined sculpture of Christ with children is another one of our recent great finds. Anyone who knows what it takes to create a bronze sculpture from start to finish realizes how special these works of art really are. For us to have found this rare, antique specimen more than made our day. Firstly, because we love the subject matter and secondly, because antique bronzes always are the best when it comes to the details and the patina. Both the serenity in Jesus' face and the way His cloth is perfectly draped around His sitting body are details that never fail to impress. The angelic faces of the two children who are clearly enjoying to be in His presence, make this meaningful and striking sculpture even more pleasant to look at. This handcrafted and antique work of beauty simply warms your heart and it will look marvelous, no matter where you decide to have it on display.
