Born the son of a stonemason in 1757, Antonio Canova made the most of his family’s heritage becoming one of the greatest artists of his time in just a few years. He entered the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice and became an eminent specialist in the reinterpretation of great ancient myths. Not to mention, he was one of the favourite artists of Emperor Napoleon! For Officina Bernardi, a renowned Venetian goldsmith, Canova’s work deserves to be thoroughly studied and preserved. To put these sculptural masterpieces into the spotlight, they have skilfully staged a succession of jewels that adorn them.
