Commemorating Sculptor Antonio Canova, His Legacy, and Its Place in History

In the late 18th century, Neo-Classical sculptor Antonio Canova was proclaimed the new Phidias, the new Praxiteles, and his studio was a “must-see” stop for travelers on the official Grand Tour. His many VIP patrons throughout Europe included Popes Pius VI and VII, as well as Napoleon and the Bonaparte family. Today his artistic legacy is being celebrated with this mega-exhibit in Rome.

Storm King Art Center: At the Intersection of Nature and Art

There are no walls, and very few “do not touch” signs. Visitors can walk, ride a bike, nap, and experience the art. Each piece finds its own space and its own relationship to the landscape, the seasons, and the public: the placement of those works is just as important as the art itself.
