Antonio Canova

Canova is from the period of neoclassicism after the Baroque period's theatrical access. It was a return to a classical refinement in art.

Canova was celebrated at a young age and was very sought out after. His humble upbringing evidently left him sensitive toward supporting his artist friends.

His sculptures are known for very delicately portraying nudes and human flesh in marble.
