Metropolitan Museum of Art to Display Tullio Lombardo's Newly Restored 'Adam'
The Metropolitan Museum of Art's marble sculpture Adam by Tullio Lombardo (ca. 1455–1532) will return to public view on November 11, 2014-July 2015, following a tragic accident in 2002 and an unprecedented 12-year conservation project. It is the first life-sized nude marble statue since antiquity and the most important Italian Renaissance sculpture in North America. Tullio carved Adam in the early 1490s for the monumental tomb of doge Andrea Vendramin, now in the church of Santi Giovanni e Paolo, Venice, and it is the only signed sculpture from that iconic monument.
Metropolitan Museum of Art Presents ANTONIO CANOVA: THE SEVEN LAST WORKS, Now thru 4/27
Antonio Canova (1757-1822), the greatest of all Neoclassical sculptors, remains famous above all for his elegant, nude mythological subjects carved in marble. But he also worked in a spiritual mode, at once deeply serious and deceptively simple. This less familiar Canova is revealed in an extraordinary series of full-scale plaster models illustrating episodes from the Old and New Testaments that will be on view in Antonio Canova: The Seven Last Works at the Metropolitan Museum beginning today, January 22, 2014.

Antonio Canova (1757-1822), the greatest of all Neoclassical sculptors, remains famous above all for his elegant, nude mythological subjects carved in marble. But he also worked in a spiritual mode, at once deeply serious and deceptively simple. This less familiar Canova is revealed in an extraordinary series of full-scale plaster models illustrating episodes from the Old and New Testaments that will be on view in Antonio Canova: The Seven Last Works at the Metropolitan Museum beginning January 22, 2014. The sculptures in this exhibition were made in connection with a project for 32 reliefs, illustrating scenes from the Bible, that were to adorn the Tempio Canoviano, the church-later his mausoleum-that he built for his home town of Possagno. He completed only seven of the models before his death. They constitute Canova's last, profoundly moving masterworks.
