EARLY 20TH CENTURY VIENNA BRONZE OF PSYCHE BY FRANZ MAZURA, LIKELY BRUNO ZACH.
From our Bronze Sculpture collection, we are delighted to present this Austrian Bronze Sculpture of Psyche, also known as the “Butterfly Woman,” signed by Franz Mazura.
Dating to the early 20th century, this finely cast and patinated bronze depicts Psyche, the mythological figure symbolising the soul, portrayed with delicate butterfly wings. The elegant figure is sensitively modelled, shown in a graceful pose with flowing drapery, and raised upon an ebonised wooden base.
The subject of Psyche, often represented with butterfly wings, became a celebrated motif in the decorative arts of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Comparable in spirit to the iconic Rolls Royce “Spirit of Ecstasy,” this sculpture reflects the period’s fascination with allegorical themes and sensual form.
The piece is signed to the rear F. Mazura for Franz Mazura, an Austrian sculptor active in Vienna during the early 20th century. While little biographical information is known, it is widely believed that Franz Mazura was a pseudonym used by the renowned Austrian sculptor Bruno Zach, famed for his sensual and striking bronzes of the Art Deco and Jugendstil movements.
This rare example offers collectors both aesthetic beauty and historical intrigue, making it a superb addition to any collection of Austrian or Viennese bronzes.
