Figured in Marble: The Making and Viewing of 18th-Century Sculpture

- - Product Description: A study of 18th-century British sculpture, lavishly illustrated with works of art from the V&A and J. Paul Getty Museums, private collections and churches. Figured in Marble starts by suggesting new ways of looking at 18th-century sculpture and exploring its relationship to topics that have figured prominently in recent discussions of British painting. The relationship between painting and sculpture, and the links between making and viewing, are themes that recur throughout the book. The chapters explore the subjects of: Writing sculptural histories; Design, making and materials; Categories and genres; and finally Settings, collecting and display. Each chapter is in itself a richly informative and original contribution to the history of sculpture and together they form a coherent and authoritative account of a major aspect of British art.
