The original Canova Lions were created by the Italian artist, Antonio Canova (1757-1822) perhaps the most celebrated of Neo-classical sculptors. Created in the late 18th Century as guardians to the monumental tomb of Pope Clement XIII in St. Peter''s Basilica in Rome, copies were later made in workshops of Rome to sell to the wealthy on their grand tour. The singular lion we are selling here being a fine example.
The term ‘Grand Tour’ was coined by the Catholic priest and travel writer Richard Lassels in his guidebook The Voyage of Italy (published in 1670). Many Grand tourists formed collections of Grand Tour objects for their English country houses, most notably that of Chatsworth House.
Thank you.
