Canova E Venezia Photographs By Fabio Zonta - Fabio Zonta

. .

Résumé :
Two hundred years after the death of Antonio Canova (1757?1822), the catalogue accompanying the exhibition at Museo Correr in Venice celebrates the art and myth of the sculptor through Fabio Zont?s images. Intense photographs, whose lights and shadows, angles, and readings of the subjects? expressions are faithful to the originals, offer new points of view that accentuate the sculptures in the round, isolated in the space. Images full of feeling and admiration, mindful of the master?s lesson of combining the ancient, classical world with a modern sensibility, which has come down to us intact.

The photographer?s images, from public and private collections, explore the supreme Neoclassical artist?s sculptures and are complemented by essays by experts and curators, including Gabriella Belli, Camilla Grimaldi, Andrea Bellieni, Vittorio Sgarbi and Paola Bonifacio, as well as an interview with Fabio Zonta by Camilla Grimaldi.
