Rembrandt Bugatti "Antilope Canna" Bronze Sculpture
Rembrandt Bugatti created this monumental sculpture at the age of 26 for his exhibition at the Royal Zoological Society in Antwerp. The canna antelope, also known as the common eland, is a magnificent sight in the wild. This large, robust antelope is characterized by its impressive stature, standing nearly five feet tall at the shoulder, with a muscular build and a sleek, tawny coat. The antelope's most striking features are its long, spiral horns, which can grow up to four feet in length. The horns spiral gracefully, adding to the antelope's majestic appearance.
