Sculpture Victorious highlights the diversity, originality, and
ubiquity of sculptural production during the reign of Queen
Victoria. This lavishly illustrated book examines how colorful
marbles, bronzes, finely wrought silver, and exquisitely detailed
electrotypes, as well as gems, cameos, and porcelain, related to
and contributed to the contemporary world. In an age of
unprecedented territorial expansion, sculpture reflected the power
of the British empire; at the same time, increased access to
materials and resources facilitated artistic production and
innovation. The partnership between art and industry was equally
generative and creative, enabling daring explorations of
sculpture's possibilities, both political and aesthetic. Bringing
to bear a range of materials including statuary, reliefs, models,
drawings, and objets d'art, as well as prints, photographs, and
paintings, this stunning tome assembles, for the first time, the
vibrancy, inventiveness, and modernity of Victorian sculpture.
