EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Antonio Canova: Apollo crowning himself" showcases the exquisite talent of renowned artist Antonio Canova. Created in the 19th century, this piece is a reproduction from The Works of Antonio Canova in Sculpture and Modelling engraved by Henry Moses. The image depicts Apollo, a prominent mythological figure, adorning himself with a laurel wreath as he ascends to godly status. With meticulous detail and precision, Canova captures the essence of this pivotal moment in Greek mythology. Canova's neoclassical style shines through in this work, showcasing his mastery of form and composition. The intricate lines and delicate shading bring depth to the scene while emphasizing Apollo's divine presence. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to an era where myths held great significance in society. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with ancient tales and our desire to connect with something greater than ourselves. This engraving not only pays homage to Canova's artistic brilliance but also highlights the enduring power of mythology within art. It invites us to explore the realms of paganism and polytheism while appreciating their influence on religious beliefs throughout history. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with a remarkable glimpse into the world of fine art through this print from their collection.
