About the Item

Three large neoclassical style plaster wall roundels after renowned Italian sculptor, Antonio Canova (1757 – 1822). These impressive sculpted wall plaques depict classical, Greek style scenes in relief. These include (left to right): The Goat Amalthea with the Infant Jupiter and a Faun, Living from the Land and The Music Lesson. Cast in plaster, these neoclassical wall plaques have a worn, aged look about them, looking striking styled together or individually in a classically inspired interior with their impressive scale and subject. 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.
