Masterpieces of the hall
The hall
This is the beginning of the display rooms. On display in this room are several of the artist’s most beautiful marble works, mainly portraits, a genre in which Canonica excelled, being particularly famous for his subtle interpretations of the psychology of the people he depicted.
