《卡诺瓦：用粘土写生》——首部深入探讨杰出新古典主义雕塑家安东尼奥·卡诺瓦陶土模型与创作过程的专著

安东尼奥·卡诺瓦（1757-1822）是新古典主义时代最负盛名的雕塑家，他以其葬礼纪念碑和精心雕刻的古典主题大理石作品奠定了自己作为当时杰出艺术家的地位。尽管他的理想化且充满感性的雕塑作品广为人知，但本书却是首部完全专注于他那些为大理石雕塑做准备而制作的极具表现力的陶土模型的著作。如今，他的陶土模型中仅有65件存世。这些模型以其大胆的风格显得异常现代，保留了艺术家手作的痕迹，为我们揭示了卡诺瓦富有想象力的创作过程和技术手法。

本书的作者拥有艺术史和文物保护方面的专业知识，他们深入研究了卡诺瓦制作陶土模型的技术，包括他如何利用陶土制作等比例模型，以供助手们用大理石复制，以及他将模型赠予友人的习惯。

The first book-length examination of the clay models and creative process of the preeminent neoclassical sculptor Antonio Canova

The most celebrated sculptor of the neoclassical age, Antonio Canova (1757–1822) established himself as the preeminent artist of his time with his funerary monuments and meticulously carved marbles on classical themes. Although his idealized and sensual sculptures are widely known, this is the first book devoted entirely to the brilliantly expressive clay models that he made in preparation for his marble sculptures. Only sixty-five of his terracotta models survive today. Extraordinarily modern in their boldness, the models retain the touch of the artist’s hand and yield a revelatory glimpse into Canova’s imaginative and technical process.

The authors, with expertise in art history and conservation, examine Canova’s techniques for making terracotta models, including how he used clay to develop full-scale models that his assistants copied in marble, and his practice of gifting his models to friends.
