Book Description
This is an illustrated study of the reception of classical sculptures in the early modern period. Viccy Coltman contrasts the culture of British 18th century collecting, which integrated sculpture into the domestic interior, with the focus upon individual specimens by archaeologists like Adolf Michaelis a century later.
