Summary: "Antonio Canova (1757-1822), e l'arte de' suoi tempi" by Adolfo Venturi is an art historical analysis written in the late 19th century. The book explores the life and works of the famed Italian sculptor Antonio Canova, situating his contributions within the broader context of art during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

In this insightful examination, Venturi delves deep into Canova's artistic journey, discussing his formative experiences and influences, particularly in relation to the classical traditions of ancient Rome and Greece. The text illustrates how Canova sought to revitalize classical ideals within his works while also confronting the challenges of modernity. Through a series of detailed explorations of specific sculptures and monuments, Venturi highlights Canova's ability to merge traditional forms with an emotive expressiveness that captures the complexities of human experience.
