[PU: Zabern Verlag - 1992], Verlagsneu Leinen mit Schutzumschlag, 124 Seiten Text mit 40 Abbildungen, 4 Farbtafeln mit 8 Abbildungen und 110 Seiten mit 398 Fotoabbildungen, Fig. 24 als Faltabbildung in Tasche --- This book explores the rich collection of classical antiquities at Wloburn Abbey, the country residence of the Dukes of Bedford. An introductory essay deals with the motivations for and manner of acquisition of ancient art by one of the foremost families of the British aristocracy. The museum proper of marbles had its first major impetus when the fifth Duke arranged housing for several sculptures in a magnificent conservatory, designed by the renowned architect, Henry Holland. It was the sixth Duke who completed his predecessor's transformation of the greenhouse into a sculpture gallery. It was also he, who acquired the greater number of the marbles, and illuminatingly juxtaposed them with an important group of Neo-Classical sculptures, thus providing clear visual evidence of aesthetic derivation and aspiration. The Bedford collection encompasses a variety of sculptural categories. The individual catalogue entries offer a detailed description of each antiquity, based on current research, notation of the state of preservation and an investigation of the piece within its special place in the history of Roman art and aesthetics, and all are accompanied by excellent illustrations. The treasures include a bronze statuette of a satyr, a gem of artistry which was excavated from the ruins of Pompeii in the presence of the sixth Duke. A superb range of portraits offers the reader an unprecedented opportunity for an overview within a single context of the stylistic development of portraiture during the first three centuries A. D. The series of important sarcophagi, unmatched in any other private British museum, illustrate a broad spectrum of themes. Most famous among the decorative marbles is the celebrated Lante Vase, which undoubtedly once embellished the spectacular villa of the Emperor Hadrian at Tivoli., DE, [SC: 24.00], gewerbliches Angebot, [GW: 1620g], Banküberweisung, PayPal, Selbstabholung und Barzahlung, Internationaler Versand<
