Angelo CanevariCanopo - Bronze Sculpture with Secret Compartments, Funerary Urn, Antropomorphic1990s
1990s
About the Item
Angelo Canevari's "Canopo" is a 22 x 12-inch bronze anthropomorphic sculpture. It is part of the "Canopo" series. With a modern interpretation, Canevari revisited the sacred vases of the ancient Etruscan civilization from the regions of Tuscany and Umbria in Italy. The Etruscans were a polytheistic civilization that believed that all visible phenomena were a manifestation of divine power. Canevari interprets the theme's secrecy and mysteriousness in this monumental yet intimate piece. The sculpture's curved anthropomorphic and totemic shape opens into a magical inside, hiding more secrets and sacred objects. The two sides open like embracing arms, revealing a bronze triangular medallion.
Angelo Canevari is an Italian sculptor from a long lineage of artists active in Rome since the 17th century. He has been commissioned by the Vatican to do several works, including the Bronze Doors of the Cathedral of Belluno and the Vatican Coins.

- Canopo - Anthropomorphic Bronze Sculpture with Opening ElementsBy Angelo CanevariLocated in New York, NYThis bronze anthropomorphic sculpture is part of the "Canopo" series. With a modern interpretation, Canevari revisited the sacred vases of the ancient Etruscan civilization from the regions of Tuscany and Umbria in Italy. The Etruscans were a polytheistic civilization that believed that all visible phenomena were a manifestation of divine power. Canevari interprets the theme's secrecy and mysteriousness in this monumental yet intimate piece. The curved anthropomorphic and totemic shape of the sculpture opens into a magical inside, hiding more secrets and sacred objects. The two sides open like embracing arms, revealing a star-shaped medallion and a glass pendulum. The use of rings and solid bronze blocks hanging and protruding from the surface creates a theatrical play of light and shadows.
