EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the grandeur and historical significance of Canova's masterpiece, "Napoleon as Mars the Peacemaker". Located in Apsley House, London, the photograph captures an interior view of the principal staircase adorned with this iconic statue. Crafted by renowned Italian sculptor Antonio Canova, this magnificent sculpture was originally commissioned by Napoleon himself. The image depicts Napoleon holding a figure of Victory, symbolizing his military prowess and desire for peace. The statue serves as a testament to both his ambition and aspiration for harmony amidst conflict. However, after Napoleon's downfall in 1816, it found its way into the possession of the 1st Duke of Wellington through a generous gift from Prince Regent (later George IV). The composition highlights not only the beauty and intricacy of Canova's work but also reflects upon significant moments in European history. The oblique angle chosen for this shot adds depth to the scene while emphasizing both the scale and elegance of this remarkable sculpture. Through Nigel Corrie's lens, viewers are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of Europe's most celebrated artistic treasures. This print allows us to appreciate not only Canova's exceptional talent but also offers insight into how art can transcend political boundaries and become part of our shared cultural heritage.
