He came from a family of stone-cutters, and as soon as he was old enough he began learning the principles of drawing from his grandfather. His grandfather was well versed in drawing, design, ornamental work and architecture. Canova quickly discovered a talent for sculpture and, in his grandfather's studio, carved several marble works before his teenage years.
It was in this studio that the young Canova came to the attention of Senator Falier, who would become a lifelong patron. Canova was placed by his patron under the artist Bernardi also known as Giuseppe Torretto , an eminent sculptor at the time. Canova studied under Torretto for two years before moving to Venice to continue studying at the age of fifteen.
Despite later becoming a champion of neoclassicism, Canova's early works displayed elements of both Baroque art and Rococo art.
