Exhibiting Antonio CanovaDisplay and the Transformation of Sculptural Theory\nAuthor(s): Christina Ferando\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781041179030, 978-1041179030\nSynopsis\nExhibiting Antonio Canova: Display and the Transformation of Sculptural Theory argues that the display of Canovas sculptures in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries acted as a catalyst for discourse across a broad range of subjects. By enshrining his marble figures alongside plaster casts of ancient works, bathing them in candlelight, staining and waxing their surfaces, and even setting them in motion on rotating bases, Canova engaged viewers intellectually, physically, and emotionally. These displays inspired discussions on topics as diverse as originality and artistic production, the association between the sculptural surface, flesh, and anatomy, the relationship between painting and sculpture, and the role of public museu.
