Owning the Past: Why the English Collected Antique Sculpture, 1640-1840 - Studies in British Art
Ruth Guilding
A re-examination of the British collectors who bankrupted themselves to possess antique marble statues. Analyzing the motives the drove "Marble Mania" in England from the 17th to 19th centuries, it examines how the trend entrenches the ideals of connoisseurship and taste, exacerbates socio-economic inequities, and serves nationalist propaganda.
