Bronze from Vienna. The greyhound
Very beautiful bronze subject from Vienna. The greyhound Old painted bronze subject Greyhound decor. Very beautiful patina. Work from the second part of the 19th century, 5.8cm x 10.5cm in length. The small, brightly colored bronze figures, made in Vienna, Austria, from 1850 onwards are bronzes of rare quality. Often small, Vienna bronzes can vary from a few millimeters to almost a meter. Attractive objects, these sculptures, of great finesse, surprise with their liveliness and their sometimes very amusing side. These 19th century bronze sculptures are well known for their high technical quality as well as the great attention paid to detail, movement and expression; the talent of Austrian sculptors then reached an international level. These bronzes are famous for their naturalistic representation and are distinguished by a wide range of extremely varied subjects: human figures (representations of professions, oriental inspirations, etc.), all species of animals and in particular birds (dogs, cats, horses, insects, reptiles, rodents, etc.) Each of these works is a unique piece, the carving is done by hand and the details differ between two pieces. The finishes (painting, patina, etc.) are done by hand and are very neat. These bronzes have the particularity of being cold painted, using processes whose secret has been lost.
