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.
