San Marino 2 euro 2022 - 200 years since the death of Antonio Canova

New bimetallic commemorative type:

"200 years since the death of Antonio Canova"

Antonio Canova (1 November 1757 – 13 October 1822) was an Italian Neoclassical sculptor, famous for his marble sculptures. Often regarded as the greatest of the Neoclassical artists, his sculpture was inspired by the Baroque and the classical revival, and has been characterised as having avoided the melodramatics of the former, and the cold artificiality of the latter.
