A deep Classical gallery hosts some of the most celebrated sculptures ever produced by Canova, including his Theseus and the Centaur now in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, his Boxers Creugas and Damoxenos now in the Vatican Museum and the model for Napoleon as Mars the Peacemaker in the centre of the apse.
