Franz Bergman (1861–1936) was an Austrian sculptor renowned for his exceptional work in cold-painted bronze, particularly in the Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles. He was associated with a foundry in Vienna that became known for producing highly detailed, often whimsical, and beautifully finished bronze sculptures of animals, dancers, and mythological figures. Bergman’s work is characterized by a distinctive technique of applying vibrant, colored enamels to the surface of the cast bronze, which gave his pieces a lifelike, almost otherworldly appearance.

His foundry, known as the Franz Bergman Werkstätte, became a prestigious name in the art world, producing bronzes that combined traditional metalworking techniques with innovative painting methods. The pieces were often small-scale, designed to appeal to collectors and art enthusiasts. Franz Bergman’s works are highly collectible today, prized for their craftsmanship and elegance. 
His bronzes often depicted animals in graceful, dynamic poses, exemplifying the fluidity and natural beauty of the Art Nouveau movement.
