Amongst those who patronized the old man was the patrician family Falier of Venice, and by this means young Canova was first introduced to the senator of that name, who afterwards became his most zealous patron.

It has been related by an Italian writer and since repeated by several biographers, that Canova was indebted to a trivial circumstance – the moulding of a lion in butter – for the warm interest which Falier took in his welfare.

By his patron Canova was placed under Bernardi, or, as he is generally called by filiation, Giuseppe Torretto, a sculptor of considerable eminence, who had taken up a temporary residence at Pagnano, one of Asolo's boroughs

He left England early in 1821, and, after studying for a few months in Paris under Bosio, proceeded to Rome, and entered the studio of Canova, where he had John Gibson ( 1790 – 1866 ) as a fellow pupil.

There he immediately experienced the charm and goodness of the true Italian character in the person of Antonio Canova, to whom he had introductions, the Venetian putting not only his experience in art but his purse at the English student's service.

There he met Canova, whose studio he attended while painting his portrait, where he absorbed Canova ’ s classical style.

Antonio Canova (; 1 November 1757 – 13 October 1822 ) was an Italian sculptor from the Republic of Venice who became famous for his marble sculptures that delicately rendered nude flesh.

Antonio Canova was born in Possagno, a village of the Republic of Venice situated amid the recesses of the hills of Asolo, where these form the last undulations of the Venetian Alps, as they subside into the plains of Treviso.

At three years of age Canova was deprived of both parents, his father dying and his mother remarrying.

This took place whilst Canova was in his thirteenth year ; and with Torretto he continued about two years, making in many respects considerable progress.

Canova had obtained letters of introduction to the Venetian ambassador, the Cavaliere Zulian, and enlightened and generous protector of the arts, and was received in the most hospitable manner.

The French Revolution was now extending its shocks over Italy ; and Canova sought obscurity and repose in his native Possagno.

The mind of Canova was inspired with the warmest sense of devotion, and though foiled in this instance he resolved to consecrate a shrine to the cause.

It was also at this time that Severn met, among other notables, the sculptors John Gibson and Antonio Canova, and Lord Byron's friend, the adventurer Edward John Trelawny.
