the modern Italians

Neo-classical sculptors of Italian birth who might be asociated with Canova include Lorenzo Bartolini (1777-1850), Giovanni Battista Comolli (1775-1830), Pompeo Marchesi (1783-1858), Camillo Pacetti (1758-1826), and Pietro Tenerani (1789-1869). Perhaps Ruskin would also include the Dane, Thorwaldsen, (1768-1844) who worked in neo-classical style in Rome, just as he defined Poussin and Claude as Italian painters.
