ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Height: 21 cm Width: 14 cm Depth: 8 cm Condition: Excellent Original Condition Circa: 1890 Materials: Bronze Book Ref: Emmanuel Villanis by J Hortulanus-de Mik Page No: 16 SKU: 9605 ABOUT Villanis Miarka Emmanuel Villanis (1858–1914) was an Italian-born sculptor who became one of the most distinctive figures of late 19th-century French decorative sculpture. Born in Lille to Italian parents, he trained in Italy before moving to Paris, where he established his career during the Belle Époque. Villanis specialised in elegant busts of idealised female figures, often depicting allegorical or poetic subjects such as La Bohémienne, Salomé, or Cléo de Mérode. His work is characterised by refined modelling, expressive faces, and flowing, often highly stylised hair and drapery, reflecting both Art Nouveau influences and a strong sense of theatricality. He exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon from the 1880s onward, gaining recognition for his graceful compositions and accessible appeal. Many of his sculptures were cast in bronze by leading foundries and produced in editions, making them popular among collectors of the period. Today, Villanis’ bronzes...
