EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, created by Joseph Saunders in the 1820s, captures the renowned Italian sculptor Antonio Canova in his studio. Dressed in formal attire, Canova is depicted leaning on an elbow, lost in thought as he looks up, seemingly oblivious to the presence of the artist. The sculptor wears a tailored coat and dress pants, the high collar of his shirt contrasting sharply with the white plaster background of his studio. Canova's studio, located in England during this time, is filled with the remnants of his artistic process. A half-finished sculpture can be seen in the background, a testament to the artist's dedication and mastery of the neoclassical style. The interior, with its high ceilings and large windows, is bathed in natural light, creating an atmosphere of creativity and inspiration. This portrait, a beautiful example of 19th century art, offers a glimpse into the life of one of the most influential figures of the neoclassical movement. Canova's work, characterized by its graceful forms and intricate details, continues to inspire artists and collectors around the world. Today, this photograph is part of the impressive collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, a testament to the enduring legacy of both Canova and Saunders.
