#Antonio Canova

[figlidiroma]

To be precise, these are not exactly the Three Graces but rather the allegories of Picture, Sculpture and Architecture mourning Antonio Canova's death; the relief was realized by Giuseppe Fabris.

Si tratta delle allegorie di Pittura, Scultura ed Architettura piangenti sulla tomba di Canova. Il monumento, voluto da Leone XII della Genga e opera di Giuseppe Fabris (o De Fabris), campisce la parete d'ingresso della Protomoteca capitolina. Nella parte superiore del monumento giace reclinato il corpo del grande artista, mentre il delicatissimo rilievo mostra le Arti in compianto assieme al Genio dell'Armonia. Al talento e al genio di Fabris si devono anche la ricognizione della tomba di Raffaello Sanzio al Pantheon e la bellissima tomba a Canova.

Cito dal sito già linkato per una completa biografia di Fabris: "Nella sua veste di Reggente alla Congregazione dei Virtuosi al Pantheon, De Fabris diventa protagonista di uno degli “eventi” più eclatanti di quel tempo: il ritrovamento delle spoglie di Raffaello Sanzio (Urbino 06-04-1483 – Roma 06-04-1520, genio dell’arte rinascimentale), sepolto all’interno di Santa Maria ad Martyres (il Pantheon) ma della cui collocazione precisa si erano perse le tracce. Dopo 5 giorni di lavori iniziati il 9 settembre 1833 le ricerche ebbero esito positivo. Il 15 si apre la cassa e De Fabris invita Vincenzo Camuccini, lì presente, a “ritrarre in disegno le spoglie dell’immortale Raffaello”. Il 18 ottobre lo scheletro viene ricomposto entro un sarcofago donato da Gregorio XVI".

Antonio Canova’s Psyche Revived by Cupid’s Kiss

If I had a nickel for everytime I made a post referencing a Thai BL drama to the story (and art) of Cupid & Psyche, I would have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

@forcebook - that ATOTS post was like my top one in 2021 around the time “dramas” became one of my major tags and I started engaging more in all of that here on tumblr. Nice trip down memory lane
