The work and its artist

Antonio Canova (1757-1822)

Antonio Canova is an Italian sculptor from the Republic of Venice, famous for his marble sculptures that delicately illustrate naked flesh. His work, considered the quintessence of the neoclassical style, marks a return to classical refinement after the theatrical excesses of Baroque sculpture.
