Portrait of Antonio Canova
Canova’s gaze is unflinching and gentle at the same time. Merz portrayed the sculptor at the height of his fame. The two met in Vienna, when Merz had just returned from Hungary and Canova was working on the monument to Maria Christina of Austria. Merz was immediately impressed by Canova’s talent and was honoured to portray him from life. Merz died the following year.
