He is also noted as a writer, and his Memoirs, if we excuse the vanity which seems to have dictated them, are distinguished by a naive and charming style.
88 THE PRINCES OF ART.
CANOVA.
Antonio Canova was born in 1747, at Passagno, a small Venetian city. At a very early age he became the protege* of Signer Falieri, one of the first personages in Passagno. While a young child, Antonio took great pleasure in making small figures with crumbs of bread, or bits of clay : these were much admired by h...is mother and his school companions. As he grew up, he em- ployed all the time not occupied in learning to read and write, in modelling all sorts of animals. One day he made a lion of butter, which was served at the table of Signer Falieri ; and he, charmed with the propensity of Canova for sculpture, provided him with a teacher.
Antonio profited so well by his instruction, that in a few years he was advised to go to Venice, to study with Torreti, who was considered a very able sculptor, the age of the great masters having passed, and the arts fallen into complete decay.
