Two hundred years after the death of Antonio Canova, this monograph, published alongside the exhibition at the Museo Correr, celebrates his art and his myth through the images of Fabio Zonta.

A tribute to the memory of the last great artist of the Serenissima, these intense pictures — careful in their light and shade, in their angles, in the reading of the expressions of the subjects — favour new points of view, bringing out the fully rounded form, isolated in space, dense with affection and admiration, recalling his lesson of joining the antique and classical world with a contemporary sensibility.
