This is a book about classical sculptures in the early modern
period, centuries after the decline and fall of Rome, when they
began to be excavated, restored, and collected by British visitors
in Italy in the second half of the eighteenth century. Viccy
Coltman contrasts the precarious and competitive culture of
eighteenth-century collecting, which integrated sculpture into the
domestic interior back home in Britain, with the study and
publication of individual specimens by classical archaeologists
like Adolf Michaelis a century later. Her study is comprehensively
illustrated with over 100 photographs.
