Descrizione
“The Museum Gypsotheca Antonio Canova in Possagno is a place like no other.
There, with Canova’s spirit and legacy, lie the objects, the things. And while the Sanctuary lets us get to know the greatness and aesthetic principles of the artist’s works, the home speaks to us of the everyday rituals of the man.”
Vittorio Sgarbi
The guide to the Museum Gypsotheca Antonio Canova in Possagno, the sculptor’s native town, retraces the artistic journey of the genius of Neoclassicism, exploring the places he called his own, taking a closer look at his method of working, and analysing his relationship with antiquity.
Through the original models of the famous works conserved there, the museum investigates the most important themes and subjects of his production, such as the representation of love, dance, and beauty, with a focus on his great masterpieces and the historical figures that played a considerable role in his artistic career, such as Napoleon and George Washington.
