Antonio Canova is widely regarded as the most accomplished Neoclassical sculptor of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Alongside painter Jacques Louis David, he spearheaded a fresh artistic movement characterized by elegant, harmonized form and serene composure inspired by timeless classical relics. He was equally celebrated for his mastery of carving techniques and the exceptional smoothness of his marble finishes, which resembled the suppleness of real skin.
