Emmanuel Villanis Figurative Sculptures

French, 1858-1914
Emmanuel Villanis (b. 1858 d. 1914). Originally from Lille, France and of Italian descent, the artist studied in Turin at the Accademia Albertina, under master sculptor Odoardo Tabacchi, before settling in Paris in 1885. A prolific producer of busts during his career, he enjoyed international acclaim for his work. He had a penchant for producing bronzes (particularly busts) of beautiful young women, mainly in the Art Nouveau style. During his lifetime he exhibited widely in Paris, Milan, Chicago, New York and Vienna, his bronzes are both beautiful and highly desirable.
