Description
Antonio Canova's clay models offer a unique glimpse into his creative process and artistic vision. This comprehensive catalog showcases sixty-five of these rare models, which were created in preparation for his marble sculptures.
The authors, with expertise in art history and conservation, examine Canova's techniques for making terracotta models, including how he developed full-scale models that his assistants copied in marble. The book also reveals the artist's practice of gifting these models to friends, providing a fascinating insight into his personal relationships.
Published by the National Gallery of Art, this book is distributed in conjunction with an exhibition at the National Gallery of Art, Washington DC, and later at the Art Institute of Chicago. With its beautifully illustrated pages, it is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Canova's work and artistic techniques.
