c.1910 15" Bergman Austrian Cold Painted Bronze Sparrow Hawk Sculpture on Stone

Description

c.1910 15" Bergman Austrian Cold Painted Bronze Sparrow Hawk Sculpture on Stone Base Signed with Bergman mark as shown. 12" wingspan, 12" beak to tail. slight bend on the tip of each wing with some paint wear. Incredible, rare, imposing figure that will liven up anywhere it is. Very heavy, will be a challenging packing and shipping job that i'm confident I'm capable of. It will take me hours but it will be done right and get there how it leaves here. Franz Bergman was an Austrian entrepreneur best known for his Viennese foundry which produced many patina- and cold-painted bronze sculptures of figures, animals, Orientalist scenes, and mythological creatures. Bergman is often misidentified as a sculptor, but he himself was not the original artist for the works—rather, he hired many anonymous sculptors to execute his ideas. He signed many of the works produced by his foundry with the pseudonym Nam Greb, so as to conceal his name from the authorities and avoid penalties for immorality. Born in 1861 in Vienna, Austria, he initially inherited a bronze factory from his father and later opened his own foundry. Bergman died in 1936 in Vienna, Austria
