Recasting Canova
Opening 16 February 2019

Celebrating the bicentenary of the 'Canova Casts' in Cork, this exhibition explores the stories and influence of ancient sculpture, and considers the art and value of reproduction through twelve plaster casts made in Rome under the supervision of Antonio Canova (1757-1822).
