A traveler's guide to key works by the greatest Neoclassical sculptor, on the 200th anniversary of his death.

Often regarded as the greatest of the Neoclassical artists, Antonio Canova (1757-1822) combined Greek and Roman sculptural idioms with a nascent Romanticism to forge a new vocabulary for Neoclassicism. Even within in his own lifetime, Canova's works could be found in major collections across the world, from the United States to Russia.
Marking the 200th anniversary of the artist's death, this guidebook offers a series of itineraries to guide the visitor on an exploration of the many works left by the sculptor, painter and architect in his home region of the Veneto, with which he always maintained close ties. The museums, palazzi and churches of Possagno, Bassano del Grappa, Vicenza, Padua, Verona and Venice are filled with Canova's works, and with sites relevant to his life. Canova in the Veneto thus offers a fresh way to discover the Veneto region.
