This fascinating book tells the story of a little-known masterpiece
by the Italian sculptor Antonio Canova (1757-1822)-the statue of
George Washington for the North Carolina State House, delivered in
1821 and destroyed by fire ten years later. It brings together for
the first time Canova's full-sized preparatory plaster model,
sketches, engravings, drawings, and a selection of Thomas
Jefferson's letters about the commission. This is a major addition
to the current body of published knowledge on the work of Antonio
Canova, as well as on the classical revivalist sculpture of the
early nineteenth century on both sides of the Atlantic.
