Episode 335 - Canova's "Perseus Triumphant"
from Rebuilding The Renaissance
Carved in only a few months between 1800-1801, Canova's "Perseus Triumphant" is one of history's great sculptures. It exists in several versions, the most important of which are in the Vatican and Metropolitan Museums. Clearly inspired by Cellini's earlier version, Canova also depicts the Greek hero as he contemplates his victory over the Gorgon as he stares at her severed head.
