Focusing on the aesthetic concerns of the two most important sculptors of the early 19th century, the Italian sculptor Antonio Canova (1757-1822) and his Danish rival Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844), this book considers: the aesthetic autonomy of works of art, the gender of the subject, and the efficacy of marble as an imitative medium.
