Biography:
Louis-Emile CANA 1845 / 1895
Louis-Emile CANA is a French animal sculptor of Italian origin born in 1845 and died in 1895. Student d'Arson and like him particularly attracted by birds, he exhibited at the Salon, from 1863 to 1887, works in wax and bronze such as Quail and its little ones 1863, Perdrix 1869, Querelle de Pigeons 1887 etc......
Classically trained, he likes to magnify women in all their appearances, from childhood to old age, from delicate nudes to the most elaborate regional costumes. Source Bénézit and Pierre Kjellberg, Dictionary of sculptors: bronzes of the 19th century, Éditions de l'Amateur, 1997.
