Toma Rosandic (Serbo-Croatian, 1879-1959) "Devica" Unique signed bronze bronze circa 1917. Provenance: From the collection of Sir Edward Maufe (best known for designing Guildford Cathedral). Exhibited in London 1930 and Fine Arts Society London 1986. Toma Rosandic, a Serbo-Croatian artist, was born in Split on the Dalmatian coast, the son of a stone worker. During the early years in Split, Croatia, Rosandic learned to carve in wood as well as stone .He toured Italy and exhibited in Milan and Belgrade in 1906 and 1912. With the outbreak of war Rosandic left for London where he exhibited at the Grafton Galleries in 1917 and later in Brighton and Edinburgh. It was here in the same year at the Grafton that he first exhibited the original model of Devica, which he had carved in walnut wood and from which one unique cast was authorized by Rosandic. Sir Hugh Casson commented that in this work one can appreciate the originality and personal style of Rosandic better than in any other. Many of his bronze projects at this time were cast at the Vozdovac Foundry. The Toma Rosandic Memorial Museum Belgrade, has a superb collection of his works including the original wood sculpture of Devica.This sculpture is illustrated in many books of early 20th century sculpture.

Bohumír Frantisek Antonín Cermak (Czech1882 -1961) " Die Sünde " (The Sin) ( Eve). The present sculpture is inspired by the works of his mentor and teacher, Austrian symbolist artist Otto Wagner (1841-1918), and by Gustav Klimt (1862-1918). It also bears considerable similarity to certain symbolist sculptures and works by Franz Von Stuck (1863 - 1928).
High quality cast bronze sculpture of Eve, with gilded hair, her body in antique brown and also with applied gilding to her anklets. Her head is encircled with a dark brown/black snake with dark green highlights and decorative markings. Artists signature inscribed and illegible date (either19 '07 or 19 '04), and with full foundry marks and stamps for Bedrich Bendelmayer of Prague, the premier caster and founder in Prague of fine art sculpture from the late 19th and early 20th century.
There are many design elements in the snake's markings similar to metal work details created by this artist in his works dating to around 1910. Bohumír Cermak's work before the First World War demonstrated principles of Viennese Modernism. He followed in the footsteps of Josef Hoffmann and the Wiener Werkstätte. After returning to the Czech Republic he founded The Cermak Handicraft Workshop in Brno (1910). His studio designed ceramics and unusual metal work in the secessionist style. Cermak was also an architect of buildings (notably the Brno Exhibition Centre). He was also involved in numerous exhibitions worldwide, including the United States. The city of Brno is the second largest city after Prague in Czech Republic and has always been a hot bed for artists called"Moravians". Brno was the first city at the turn of the 20th century to be connected directly by rail to Vienna . Dimensions: Height 25.5 inches or 65.5 cm
