About the piece
Painted in 1802 by the French artist François Gérard, this portrait captures the intellectual intensity of the legendary sculptor Antonio Canova. The sitter is depicted with a striking red cloak draped over his shoulder, providing a bold splash of color that contrasts with the refined, classical rendering of his features. This piece is an excellent example of Regency-era portraiture from the collection of the Louvre.
