Antonio Canova ergue-se como uma figura monumental na história da arte ocidental, sendo amplamente reconhecido como o escultor neoclássico por excelência. Sua maestria no entalhe do mármore e sua capacidade de infundir formas clássicas com uma emoção profunda asseguraram seu lugar entre os maiores artistas de todos os tempos. Nascido em Possagno, na Itália, filho de Pietro Canova, um mestre pedreiro, a vida de Canova foi moldada pelo ambiente artístico que o cercava desde a infância.
