American Neoclassical Sculptors Abroad
America's first acknowledged school of professional sculptors practiced their art not on native shores but, with few exceptions, in Italy. Beginning in the late 1820s, aspiring sculptors migrated to Italy throughout much of the nineteenth century, often for the duration of their careers, for several reasons. The abundant quarries of Carrara and Seravezza provided the marble, the medium of choice for Neoclassical sculptors. Skilled craftsmen and carvers, necessary to the complicated and labor-intensive process of enlarging and translating sculptural compositions into stone, were readily available at affordable wages. The glorious wealth of classical, Renaissance, and contemporary art—on view in museums, galleries, and in the streets—offered inspiration and instruction. Leading European Neoclassical sculptors such as Antonio Canova, Bertel Thorvaldsen, and Lorenzo Bartolini—also based in Italy—served as aesthetic mentors while other artists and writers offered camaraderie.
