Antonio Canova (1757-1822) suffers not only from having been overlooked, but from the superabundance of praise, indeed outright worship that was meted out to him by his contemporaries and the majority of subsequent fellow-sculptors, connoiseurs, and aesthetics throughout the nineteenth century. Canova was for them the quintessential sculptor and in all respects, until perhaps the maturity of Rodin, the role model of all aspiring sculptors. This catalogue was published to accompany the first time The Three Graces had been shown in Scotland. The Three Graces was executed in 1815-17 for the 6th Duke of Bedford for Woburn Abbey, Bedfordshire.
