About the Item

1900s Art Nouveau silvered bronze captive woman sculpture with marble base by Emmanuel Villanis, France By: Emmanuel Villanis Material: metal, bronze, copper, marble, stone Technique: cast, molded, silvered, polished, metalwork, patinated Dimensions: 5.5 in x 8 in x 11.5 in Date: early 20th century, circa 1900s Style: Art Nouveau, Belle Époque Place of origin: France This Art Nouveau sculpture by Emmanuel Villanis portrays a captive female figure, embodying the curved forms and sensuality characteristic of the Belle Époque era. The piece, cast in silvered bronze, depicts a nude woman seated on a low structure, her hands bound by shackles. The figure's pose is graceful and tense, with her head tilted upward and her body leaning back, creating a dynamic contrast between restraint and fluidity. Villanis's technique is evident in the smooth, polished surface that accentuates the play of light across the silvered finish. The sculpture rests on a green marble base, strikingly contrasting the figure's metallic sheen. The artist's signature and the foundry seal can be found on the lower part of the work, authenticating its provenance. Emmanuel Villanis (1858-1914), a French sculptor of Italian origin, was a prominent figure in the Art Nouveau movement. His work often featured allegorical and mythological themes, with a particular focus on the female form. Villanis's sculptures are recognized for their expressive qualities and technical precision, reflecting the aesthetics of the early 20th century. His pieces, including this captive woman sculpture, continue to be sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of Art Nouveau art.
