- Description
The current paper explores a set of drawings by the Italian neoclassical sculptor Antonio Canova, who was considered one of the greatest European artists of his time. Indeed, Canova developed a wide comprehension of the human anatomical structures for he was recognized as a master on the nude style. Therefore, this paper focuses particularly on the folder upon the biology surface, which is actually preserved at the rare books archive at L?Istituto Superiore di Sanit? in Rome, Italy. The folder consists in seventeen drawings along with a booklet describing every single muscle of the bodies exhibited; presumably this work by Canova dates from 1780, the period he was studying this kind of artistic discipline in the Roman Academy of Saint Luke.
El presente art?culo versa sobre una carpeta de dibujos anat?micos del escultor neoclasicista Antonio Canova, considerado el mayor escultor de la Europa de su tiempo. Canova era un maestro del desnudo, y por ende un perfecto entendido en las estructuras anat?micas. La carpeta, que se centra s?lo en la miolog?a superficial, se conserva en el archivo de libros raros del Istituto Superiore di Sanit?, en Roma. Se trata de diecisiete dibujos acompa?ados de un cuaderno con la descripci?n de la musculatura exterior del cuerpo, y se cree que el que conjunto procede de una ?poca, hacia 1780, en que el escultor se encontraba estudiando esta disciplina en la Academia romana de San Lucas.
