We just learned about the Columbus Doors by Randolph Rogers in 1855, in Washington D.C. at the US Capitol.
One of the most famous neoclassical sculptors of all time was Antonio Canova.
He was born in northern Italy, and traveled to Venice and Rome, and studied Michelangelo's works.
In his lifetime many people thought he was the best artist in Europe, and he made sculptures for France, England, Russia, Poland, Australia, Holland and even America.
He did sculptures of famous people like Napoleon and George Washington, and even designed and built his own church in Possagno, the town where he was born.
In 1820 he made a sculpture of George Washington while he was living in Rome, and had it sent over the Atlantic to North Carolina.
