Antonio Canova was an Italian Neoclassical sculptor born in 1757, in Possagno, Republic of Venice (now in Italy), and died in 1822, in Venice. He is renowned for his marble sculptures, which often depicted mythological themes and classical figures. Canova's work is characterized by its harmony, elegance, and refined craftsmanship, reflecting the ideals of Neoclassicism.

Some of Canova's most famous sculptures include "Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss," and "The Three Graces,".
His mastery of sculpting marble was highly regarded during his lifetime, and he received commissions from prominent figures across Europe, including Napoleon Bonaparte and Pope Pius VII.

Canova's sculptures are celebrated for their idealized beauty, graceful poses, and meticulous attention to detail. His ability to convey emotion and narrative through the medium of stone is a testament to his skill as a sculptor. Canova's work continues to inspire artists and admirers of classical art to this day.
