Artist Sculptor
Antonio Canova (1 November 1757 – 13 October 1822) was an acclaimed Italian Neoclassical sculptor renowned for his marble sculptures. Widely hailed as one of the foremost Neoclassical artists, Canova's work drew inspiration from both the Baroque and the classical revival movements. His sculptures are often praised for their ability to eschew the melodramatics of the Baroque era while avoiding the cold artificiality associated with later classical styles.
