Canova: Sculpting Beauty – A Virtual Art Tour

REGISTRATION REQUIRED! Click here to register

Join us for a captivating virtual journey into the world of Antonio Canova, the visionary artist who transformed cold marble into living emotion. Renowned for his refined technique and poetic sense of beauty, Canova created sculptures that seem to breathe, move, and feel.
This virtual tour explores his most celebrated masterpieces, including Psyche Revived by Cupid’s Kiss and The Three Graces, works that embody grace, harmony, and emotional depth. You’ll discover how Canova mastered form, light, and texture to capture tenderness, passion, and ideal beauty — hallmarks of the Neoclassical style.
We’ll also follow Canova’s extraordinary life story, from his humble beginnings in northern Italy to international fame. His journey led him to Venice and Rome, where he became the most sought-after sculptor of his time, admired by popes, emperors, and royal courts across Europe. His legacy lives on in some of the world’s greatest collections, including the Vatican Museums, the Louvre Museum, and the Hermitage Museum.
This virtual art tour is perfect for anyone who loves art, history, and timeless beauty — an inspiring exploration of a genius whose sculptures continue to move and astonish audiences around the world.
