Canova. Four Tempos: Volume III
- A collection of sublime black and white photographs of plaster models created by Italian Neoclassical sculptor Antonio Canova (1757-1822)
- Photographed by Luigi Spina with text by art historian Vittorio Sgarbi
Antonio Canova (1757-1822), is considered the greatest Neoclassical sculptor of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This book, the third in the series Canova: Four Tempos, features a collection of sublime black and white photographs of Canova’s plaster models taken by photographer Luigi Spina. The full-size plaster models that preceded the production of his marble sculptures played an important part in Canova’s creative process. Included here are his masterpieces The Three Graces and Sleeping Nymph, and the only work Canova made for an overseas patron, George Washington depicted as a Roman potentate. The text is by the well-known Italian art historian Vittorio Sgarbi.
