Starting with his famous bust, \u003ci\u003eLa Riconoscenza\u003c\/i\u003e, this magnificent large-format volume offers an impressive survey of his unique expressions of friendship. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eLa Riconoscenza\u003c\/i\u003e, Canova's masterpiece, was long thought to have been lost. Created as a tribute to his most important critic, the cultural theorist Quatremère de Quincy, the sculpture was commissioned by the artist Marquise de Grollier as a gift for their mutual friend. Together, these three distinguished individuals left their mark on the cultural life of their time. Here, Fernando Mazzocca traces the history of the genesis of \"La Riconocenza\" through the remarkable correspondence of Canova, de Grollier, and de Quincy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fernando Mazzocca\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3777443034\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783777443034\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hirmer Verlag GmbH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/19\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Fernando Mazzocca","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46451170869503,"sku":"9783777443034","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1bbdc3b2-c0b5-4af9-a9ab-fa7916742fe6.jpg?v=1735876666","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/canova-fernando-mazzocca-9783777443034","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
