French Art Nouveau Bronze Figure of a Beautiful Young Girl by Emmanuel Villanis
About the Item
This beautiful young woman is a fine example of the creations of the noted French sculptor, Emmanuel Villanis (1858-1914). You will find his works to be predominantly art nouveau woman of which a majority were busts. The foundries he incorporated did exceptional patina work, frequently done in polychrome, as this example shows. She is basically 2 colors of soft green with gilt highlights. This model is titled "Talisman" which translates basically to "lucky charm". The woman is holding what could possibly be those charms. Signed by the artist as well as the foundry. It's always a bonus to have a foundry seal. This is a good sized piece of sculpture, at 18.5" high. Certainly a great example of the artist's skill.

- Art Nouveau Bronze Sculpture “Cendrillon” or Cinderella by Emmanuel VillanisBy Emmanuel VillanisLocated in Shippensburg, PAEMMANUEL VILLANIS [after] French, fl. 1880-1920 "Cendrillon" (Cinderella) Lost-wax patinated bronze signed in cast on left of socle "E. Villanis", titled to integral socle in raised relief "Cendrillon" cast circa 1930-50 Item # 212PVG15A A charming bust of a young maiden entitled Cendrillon (Cinderella), it is executed in the lost-wax method in a single piece with an integral socle that is titled in raised relief. The young woman is serious in her composure with a quiet strength, her eyes slightly downcast in the clothing of a common girl, her diaphonous garment sliding off one shoulder while the overall sculpture remains chaste and elusive. The surface is finished in a two-toned patina, the reddish-oxide surface being utilized for the flesh tones and a darker brown for the base and garments. Casting from the second quarter of the 20th century. ARTIST Born in Lille, France, little is known about the life of Emmanuel Villanis, despite the fact that he has a simply incredible level of output during the years of 1880-1920. First exhibiting at Salon in 1886, he went on to exhibit nearly five-hundred models, almost exclusively featuring the female form with strong influence of the Art Nouveau movement evident in every aspect of his work. He received honorable mention at the 1889 Exposition Universelle, Paris. Artist Listings...Category
