Antonio Canova (1757-1822)
Considered by art historians to be the master sculptor of
the Neoclassical era (1750 to 1850), Antonio Canova
learned the art of sculpting as a child.
In his 20s, he apprenticed in several studios in Venice;
and moved to Rome in 1780, establishing a studio there.

American dignitary.
