Artist Angelo Basso

Angelo Basso is one of Italy's most prominent figurative sculptors -- an heir to the Baroque tradition of the 1600s.

Basso captures the lush, assertive style of that period in his evocative female figures. His lithe, confident women miraculously glide through sea waves with the rich flowing movement of the Baroque era. Basso's idealized figures are immortalized in magic moments of life or captured in the delicate grace of a courtly dance.

Self-taught, Basso started sculpting at an early age, revealing a distinctive style, in which his profound knowledge of the human anatomy and his technical mastery in creating it in bronze are evident.

Known for the rich, flowing movement of his sculptures, Basso has exhibited his work worldwide and has received many prestigious awards and commissions.
