1757 1822 Antonio Canova Lawrence Marchese Sculptor
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the likeness of the renowned Italian sculptor, Marchese Antonio Canova (1757-1822). Born in Possagno, a small town in the Veneto region of Italy, Canova is considered one of the greatest sculptors of the neoclassical era. His mastery of the classical ideal, combined with his innovative techniques, revolutionized the art of sculpture. Canova's training began under the tutelage of his father, a stonecutter, and later under the guidance of the Venetian sculptor, Giovanni Battista Piazzetta. However, it was his encounter with the works of the ancient Greeks and Romans in Rome that truly inspired him. He spent several years studying and copying these masterpieces, which greatly influenced his own artistic style. Canova's most famous works include "Theseus and the Minotaur," "Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss," and "Venus Victrix." His ability to capture the essence of classical beauty, combined with his innovative use of materials and techniques, set him apart from his contemporaries. He was also known for his collaborations with other artists, such as the painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo, and the architect and painter, Giuseppe Angelini. Canova's influence extended beyond the art world. He was a member of the Venetian nobility, and his patronage by the powerful Borghese family in Rome further cemented his status as a cultural icon. This print serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Marchese Antonio Canova, a true master of Italian sculpture.
