Antonio Canova (1757–1822) distinguished himself as the foremost neoclassical sculptor of his age. One of many eulogistic works published soon after Canova's death, this 1825 biography by the Scottish minister John Smythe Memes (1795–1858) opens with a contextualising historical account of modern sculpture.
