Classical Sculpture and the Culture of Collecting in Britain since 1760 - Classical Presences
Coltman, Viccy (, Senior Lecturer, History of Art, University of Edinburgh)
A fully illustrated study of the reception of classical sculptures in the early modern period. Viccy Coltman contrasts the culture of British eighteenth-century collecting, which integrated sculpture into the domestic interior, with the focus upon individual specimens by classical archaeologists like Adolf Michaelis a century later.
