Magnificent Antique (ca. 1900) Austrian Cold-painted Bronze Lizard By Franz Bergman
Status:This item has been sold Sold by:Antik Dragon Japanese & Other Fine Art
A striking study of a large curled lizard with excellent naturalistic cold-painted colour and fine hand-finished detail (such as inlaid eyes) by Franz Xavier Bergman (1861-1936). Signed with the Bergman ''B'' in an amphora vase, numbered (4133) and stamped ''Geschutzt'' (registered). Measures 22cm (8.5in) x 21cm (8.25in) x 7cm (2.75in), weight 850g.
Lovely original condition with very little wear - no damage or repairs.
Franz Bergman is the most famous of the Viennese cold-painted bronze artists, celebrated for his superb attention to detail and wonderful vibrant colours. His father (also Franz Bergman, 1838-1894) was a professional chaser (embosser) from Gablonz (Austria) who moved to Vienna and founded a small bronze factory in 1860. Franz Xavier inherited the company and opened a new foundry in 1900, where he created numerous cold-painted bronze figures, whereby cast bronzes were decorated in several layers of polychrome ‘dust paint.’ The layers weren’t fired to fix them to ...the bronzes, hence they are ‘cold-painted’ (a process that has since been lost).
