Antonio Canova (1757-1822) Was A Leading Representative Of The Italian Classicism. Characteristic Of Canova Was The Emphasis On Rest Instead Of Moving, Understated Restraint Instead Of Exuberant Emotion And Elegant Simplicity Instead Of Illusion. Canova Was The Last Italian Artist Who Achieved Worldwide Fame At His Time. The Italian Architecture, Sculpture And Painting Had Played A Pioneering Role In The Cultural Life Of Europe For Several Centuries. This Domination Came To An End With Canova’S Death In 1822.
