''Hebe I'' by Antonio Canova is a neoclassical sculpture created by the renowned Italian artist, widely regarded as one of the most prominent sculptors of his time. The sculpture, which depicts Hebe, the Greek goddess of youth and cupbearer to the gods, is one of several versions crafted by Canova, with this particular iteration often referred to as "Hebe I" to distinguish it from his subsequent works on the same subject.

The sculpture embodies the neoclassical aesthetic that Canova was instrumental in defining, characterized by its idealized forms, serene expression, and smooth marble surfaces that emulate the classical works of ancient Greece and Rome. Hebe is portrayed in a moment of graceful motion, typically holding a cup and a jug, ready to serve the nectar of the gods, which was believed to grant eternal youth. The figure's youthful beauty and flowing drapery highlight Canova's mastery of form and his ability to convey softness and dynamism in the hard medium of marble.

Commissioned and completed in the late 18th or early 19th century, "Hebe I" reflects the Enlightenment's fascination with classical antiquity and the era's emphasis on purity, reason, and beauty. Canova's Hebe became a celebrated example of neoclassical sculpture and contributed to the artist's international reputation. The work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its influence on the art and culture of the period, encapsulating the ideals of neoclassicism and the revival of classical themes in European art.

Today, "Hebe I" is appreciated for its historical importance and as a testament to Canova's skill and creativity. It remains an enduring symbol of neoclassical art and continues to be studied and admired for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the broader context of European art history.
