EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a detailed section of Antonio Canova's masterpiece, "Teaching to Ignorant". Created in 1795, this plaster sculpture showcases Canova's exceptional talent and mastery of neoclassicism. The artwork is held at the Fondazione Cariplo in Milan, Lombardy, Italy. In this particular detail, we witness a profound scene where knowledge is being imparted by an esteemed teacher to an ignorant pupil. The composition beautifully portrays the transformative power of education as the young student eagerly absorbs wisdom from his mentor. The child's innocence and curiosity are juxtaposed with the woman's nurturing presence and dedication to enlightening minds. Canova skillfully sculpts each figure with intricate details that bring them to life. From the delicate folds of clothing to their expressive facial features, every element contributes to the narrative unfolding before our eyes. This relief sculpture not only serves as a visual delight but also symbolizes enlightenment and progress during the 18th century. The artist's choice of plaster as a medium adds depth and texture to his creation while emphasizing its classical influences. Through this artwork, Canova invites us into a world where education becomes a catalyst for personal growth and societal advancement. Ghigo Roli has expertly captured this momentous artwork through his lens, preserving its beauty for all art enthusiasts to appreciate.
