Pietro Tenerani studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, Carrara, under Lorenzo Bartolini, before moving to Rome where he frequented the studio of Canova and worked with Thorwaldsen from 1817. An indefatiguable sculptor, Tenerani produced a vast quantity of high quality works, many of which were destined for private collections in England.
