''Morte di Adone'' (The Death of Adonis) is a sculptural work by the renowned Italian neoclassical artist Antonio Canova, created in the late 18th century. This piece exemplifies Canova's mastery in marble, depicting the tragic moment from classical mythology when Adonis, a figure of extraordinary beauty and the beloved of the goddess Venus, succumbs to his mortal wound inflicted by a wild boar. Canova's sculpture captures the pathos and emotional intensity of the scene, reflecting the neoclassical aesthetic of returning to the purity and simplicity of ancient art.

The sculpture is a testament to Canova's ability to convey complex narratives and emotions through the medium of marble, a skill that earned him widespread acclaim during his lifetime. ''Morte di Adone'' is characterized by its refined execution, the smoothness of the marble surfaces, and the delicate interplay of light and shadow that animates the composition. The work is imbued with a sense of movement and drama, as it portrays Adonis in his final moments, with an emphasis on the idealized beauty of his form and the poignancy of his untimely death.

Antonio Canova (1757–1822) was one of the most influential sculptors of his time, and his works played a significant role in the development of neoclassical sculpture. ''Morte di Adone'' stands as a prime example of Canova's artistic philosophy, which sought to transcend the mere imitation of nature and instead aimed to achieve a higher ideal of beauty through the reinterpretation of classical themes.

While ''Morte di Adone'' is not as widely recognized as some of Canova's other masterpieces, such as ''Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss'' or ''The Three Graces'', it remains an important work within his oeuvre. The sculpture is often studied for its technical excellence and its contribution to the neoclassical movement, which looked to the art of ancient Greece and Rome for inspiration.

As with many of Canova's sculptures, ''Morte di Adone'' has been the subject of scholarly analysis and is frequently included in discussions of neoclassical art and its revival of classical motifs. The work is housed in a notable museum collection (the specific location would be included if known), where it continues to be admired by art enthusiasts and the general public alike.
