About the Item

Alma Mater by the late Belgian sculptor Isabelle Thiltgès is a 2018 bronze sculpture that exemplifies her minimalist and poetic approach to form. Standing at 19.6 inches in height and 15.7 inches in width, this piece is part of a limited edition of eight.​ The sculpture features a freestanding curvilinear element accompanied by five egg-shaped forms, creating a harmonious composition that invites contemplation. Thiltgès, a self-taught artist with over two decades of experience working with clay, brought an instinctive and tactile sensibility to her work. Her sculptures often explore themes of human connection and transformation, rendered through refined lines and balanced forms.​ "Alma Mater" reflects Thiltgès's ability to convey profound emotion and meaning through simplicity and abstraction. Her work is held in private collections and has been exhibited throughout Europe and the United States.

Canopo - Anthropomorphic Bronze Sculpture, Etruscan, Archaic, Monumental
By Angelo Canevari
Located in New York, NY
This 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. Angelo Canevari is an Italian sculptor from a long lineage of artists active in Rome since the 17th century. He has been commissioned several works by the Vatican, including the Bronze Doors of the Cathedral of Belluno and the Vatican Coins...
