Amedeo Gennarelli was born in Naples, Italy, in 1881. He was an Italian sculptor particularly renowned for his Art Deco works.
He began his artistic training in his hometown and was a pupil of Francesco Jerace. He later moved to Paris, the artistic capital of the era, where he lived and worked.
Gennarelli became an influential artist of the Art Deco movement. His sculptures are characterized by their elegance, sensuality, and the stylization of the human figure, often featuring clean lines and subtle geometric forms.
He worked with a variety of materials, including bronze, marble, and wood. He also produced pieces in ceramic and terracotta, some of which were sold in luxury stores like Alfred Dunhill in Paris, London, and New York.
Gennarelli was a member of the "Société des Artistes Français" and regularly exhibited at the Salons in Paris starting in 1913. Throughout his career, he received several medals and honors.
