Signed Bergmann Cat Nurse Delivering Newborn Kitten Rare Austrian Vienna Bronze
About the Item
THIS IS A SUPERB SIGNED FRANZ BERGMANN ANTIQUE AUSTRIAN VIENNA BRONZE OF A CAT NURSE DELIVERING A NEWBORN KITTEN TO THE WAITING MOTHER IN HER HOSPITAL BED. THE BRONZE DATES TO THE LATE 19TH TO EARLY 20TH CENTURY AND IS A MASTERPIECE OF VIENNA BRONZE ARTISTRY. THE BRONZE IS FROM ONE OF THE FINEST COLLECTIONS OF AUSTRIAN VIENNA BRONZES ASSEMBLED.
The Bergmann Cat nurse and kitten and mother vignette is one of the finest cold painted Austrian Bronzes you will find by the most esteemed artist of the genre. The details are magnificent with the lovely ribbon in the nurse's hair, the flower on the side table, the chart at the end of the bed, the delightful bed clothes and most importantly, the faces of the mother, baby and nurse - all full of the joy and wonder of the moment! The cat scene is a wonderful size: 2.5 inches tall and 3 inches long and 3 inches wide.
The superb quality of the bronze is evidenced by the markings of the piece. It is signed on the base with the Bergmann B in the urn as well as with Austria. Collectors of Vienna Bronzes and animal sculptures treasure pieces made by the master artisan Franz Bergmann above all others. Bergmann's creations are unparalleled in their realistic lifelike modeling, their refined elegant poses, their exquisite painted details and the inherent charm of the finished figure.
This wonderful antique Austrian Vienna Bronze (Bronze de Vienne, Wiener Bronze, Cold Painted Bronze) dates to circa 1890-1920. The bronze is of the highest quality of Vienna Bronzes with absolutely superb modeling and expression. The painting of the cats in the hospital bed is elegant and refined. The faces of the cats and kittens are full of the intelligence and charm that we all associate with the wonderful creatures.
The cats are from one of the finest collections of Austrian Vienna Bronzes. We will be listing items from the collection and have included a photo of some of the pieces from the collection.
