About the piece
Painted in 1822 by Giuseppe Borsato, this work captures the solemn commemoration of the celebrated sculptor Antonio Canova. The scene is set within the spectacular Scuola Grande della Carità, showcasing its breathtakingly intricate golden ceiling and large-scale paintings adorning the walls. Borsato masterfully balances the architectural grandeur of the hall with a lively, detailed crowd of attendees in period dress, creating a rich historical narrative.
