Antonio Canova (1757–1822) was an Italian Neoclassical sculptor, widely considered to be one of the greatest of his time. He is known for his marble sculptures, which often depicted mythological and historical subjects. Canova's work had a significant impact on the development of sculpture in Europe and helped to revive the classical tradition. Some of his most famous works include "Theseus and the Minotaur" and "Perseus with the Head of Medusa." Canova died in 1822 and was buried in the church of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari in Venice, Italy.

He was a popular artist among the wealthy British and European travellers of the Grand Tour, which was an 18th and 19th century tradition of young, upper-class Europeans traveling through Europe for the purpose of culture and education. Canova's sculptures were considered to be some of the finest examples of classical art, and many Grand Tourists more... visited his studio in Rome to see his works and meet the artist himself. Canova's reputation and success as a sculptor was also due to the Grand Tour, as many of the British and European patrons who visited Italy during the Grand Tour purchased Canova's sculptures to take back to their home countries, which helped to spread his fame and influence throughout Europe. less...
