Antonio Amorgasti (1880–1942)Italian-Belgian sculptor
Antonio Amorgasti was a sculptor of Italian origin who practiced his art in Antwerp, Belgium. He studied at the Berchem Academy and worked in the studios of famous Belgian sculptors, notably Josuë Dupon and Edward Deckers.
Specializing in animal sculpture, Amorgasti was renowned for his expressive bronzes, which depict animals with remarkable realism, a keen sense of movement, and strong character. His works are part of the rich tradition of Belgian animal sculpture from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
His sculptures remain highly prized today by collectors of European animal bronzes.
