Gilded Bronze Rooster Sculpture After Arthur Comte DU PASSAGE – Allegorical
By Vicomte Du Passage
Located in BARCELONA, ES
This striking gilded bronze sculpture, after Arthur Comte DU PASSAGE (1838–1909), captures the powerful image of a proud rooster—France’s enduring national symbol—standing atop military elements and holding a flag. More than a decorative object, this piece serves as a bold allegory of resilience, victory, and national pride. The rooster, or le coq gaulois, has long represented the fighting spirit of France, particularly during the 19th century. Here, its defiant posture over weaponry and a banner evokes themes of triumph over adversity, honor in battle, and patriotic vigilance. Set atop a refined circular green marble base, the warm golden patina adds sophistication, making it a perfect acquisition for collectors of symbolic art, French historical motifs, or refined decorative bronzes. Ideal for classic interiors or as a conversation piece rich with cultural significance. Keywords: French bronze sculpture, Arthur Comte du Passage, antique rooster statue...

Hans Zatzka Austrian, 1859-1945 a Very Fine Oil on Canvas "Spring Beauties"
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Hans Zatzka (Austrian, 1859-1945) a very fine and charming oil on canvas "Spring Beauties", depicting three young maidens picking flowers by a lake. The three young girls sitting, kneeling and laying on a grassy area of the forest, her wicker basket filled with the freshly picked flowers, the middle one wearing a bonnet and a straw-hat laying on the ground behind with butterflies flying by, within a gilt-wood and gesso carved frame. Signed (l/r): H. Zatzka. Circa: 1890-1900's, Hans Zatzka (Austrian, 1859-1945) was a well known and regarded Austrian fantasy artist whose most popular and valuable works depicted figures of young maidens with angels, floral and other cheerful and warm scenes, including Orientalist themes. In the past thirty years alone, the high quality and detail of his beautiful paintings has caught the attention of International collectors and art dealers alike, creating a highly sought after market and demand for his instantly recognizable body of work. In the late 19th and early 20th century, many of Zazka's charming works were photographed for commercial and collectable postcards. Though no information about his works being exhibited in museums is currently available, most of Zatzka's paintings are in private collections and, in the past century, very few of them have become available on the open market. At the young age of eighteen Zatzka joined Austria's Academy of Fine Arts under the leadership of Professor Blaas. For his fine early works, in 1880 he received The Golden Fügermedal award. Zatzka, like many other artists of the era, traveled around Europe working and selling his art and, in one of his many trips to Italy, he developed a special interest in Religious themes, decorating churches with frescos as well as painting several religious scenes of Madonna's and Child, Saints, Angels and others. In 1885 Zatzka was commissioned to paint "The Naiad of Baden" a ceiling fresco at Kurhaus Baden. Most of Zatzka's income came from his work in religious art and special church commissions. Numerous leading art dealers from around the world that specialize in late 19th and early 20th century European genre paintings have come to the conclusion that the painter signing his works Bernard Zatzka, Joseph Bernard or J. Bernard is almost certainly the artist Hans Zatzka. The consensus seems quite plausible when comparing works known to have been executed by Hans Zatzka together with similar works displaying the signature; Joseph Bernard, J. Bernard or Bernard Zatzka. Lohengrin refers to the knight of the swan, hero of German versions of a legend widely known in variant forms from the European Middle Ages onward. It seems to bear some relation to the northern European folktale of “The Seven Swans,” but its actual origin is uncertain. It is also a character in German Arthurian literature. The son of Parzival (Percival), he is a knight of the Holy Grail sent in a boat pulled by swans...
