About the Item

A large 20th century neoclassical style plaster wall roundel after renowned Italian sculptor, Antonio Canova (1757 – 1822). Sculpted in relief, this wall plaque is one of three similar we have for sale, this one depicting an impression of Canova’s work titled ‘Living from the Land’. Style alone as classical Greek-inspired wall art or together with the others we are selling as an interior statement piece. Antonio Canova Considered one of the greatest neoclassical sculptors of his time, Canova was celebrated for his magnificent sculpting abilities and talent in marble. He was born in northern Italy and showcased his artistic talents from an early age. At the age of 14, he was apprentice to prominent mid-18th century sculptor, Guiseppe Bernardi (1694 – 1773). Following a Grand Tour of Italy in 1779-80, Canova established his own studio in Rome – the thriving capital of the cultural and arts scene – influenced by the great artworks he’d observed in Florence, Bologna, Rome and Naples. As his reputation grew, so did his popularity, receiving commissions from patrons across Italy and Europe, including the Vatican Museums, Napoleon and the Bonaparte family as well as British clientele. Canova’s sculptural work is exhibited across the globe at locations including the V&A Museum, London, The Met Museum, New York as well as a museum dedicated to Antonio Canova in Possagno, Italy. Depth varies 2.5 – 4 cm (0.98 – 1.57 in)
