Angelo Basso Bronze Figurative Sculpture "Vanity"
About the Item
This striking bronze figurative sculpture by renowned Italian-American artist Angelo Basso is a testament to his exceptional craftsmanship and mastery of the human form.
Born in 1943 in Rimini, Italy, Basso is an internationally celebrated artist with a unique, self-taught style, though he also honed his skills at the prestigious Stella Mari Art School. His work has garnered widespread acclaim, including a notable moment in 1984 when he met the Pope, and one of his pieces now resides in the permanent collection of the Vatican Museum.
The piece featured, titled Vanity, powerfully captures a woman overcome by her own narcissism, symbolizing the destructive nature of self-love. The sculpture’s intricate design and deep emotional resonance make it a standout in any collection.
Dimensions: 18 x 16 inches, with a depth of approximately 10 inches
Material: Painted bronze
Note: This substantial sculpture requires shipping in a small, custom wooden crate to ensure maximum protection during transport.
Angelo Basso stands as one of Italy's foremost figurative sculptors, inheriting the dramatic intensity of the Baroque tradition from the 1600s. His work has earned prestigious accolades, including:
Gondola d’Oro, 1983
First Prize, Italy Arte Expo, 1983
Premio Giotto Prize, 1984
Stella d’Europa, 1984
Basso’s commissions include a prominent sculpture in the Vatican's Contemporary Art Collection in Rome. His evocative female figures are imbued with the lush, sweeping style of Baroque, where graceful, confident women appear to glide effortlessly through time, captured in moments of elegance and power, as if caught in a timeless dance.
From his first solo show at 18 in Italy, Basso’s work has been exhibited globally, including in Germany, England, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Switzerland, Japan, Australia, and the United States.
This masterfully crafted bronze sculpture is not only a powerful statement of artistry but will elevate any space with its elegance and profound presence.
