Especially during the beginning and middle of the 20th century, small animal figurines made of bronze were immensely popular. Originating from the numerous bronze foundries in Vienna, which were dedicated to the production of bronze miniatures, those animal miniatures soon became popular collector’s items all over Europe. The artworks of Franz Xaver Bergmann (1861-1936) in particular are the pieces that were, and still are, highly valued by art enthusiasts.

Vienna Bronze is an umbrella term for small bronze sculptures that were produced by the numerous Viennese foundries during the late 19th and early 20th century. The thematic focus of those Vienna Bronze figurines was on erotic scenes, human figurines from faraway cultures (people from the Orient, Indians and so on) and decorative animal sculptures. Often, those figurines were part of groups whose harmonious coordination created a decorative overall impression.
