They were inspired by the classical sculpture of ancient Greece and Rome, they aimed to rival the antique prototypes. Iconic works, such as Canova's "Three Graces", a multitude of portrait busts and exquisite reliefs are all discussed here. In addition to works by Canova, sculptures by Thorvaldsen, Nollekens, Flaxman and other leading artists are described and illustrated, while a short introduction looks at the patterns of collecting and patronage in Rome and Britain, and the different ways in which these works of art were viewed and displayed.

The collection contains pieces from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. Materials included painted and gilded wood, terracotta, alabaster, marble, lead and jet.

The collection encompasses marble portrait busts and figures, sculpture in wood, terracotta, bronze, lead and plaster, as well as a number of outstanding sculptors' models. Its greatest strengths lie in works from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, and virtually every major sculptor active in Britain during this period is represented - among them Nicholas Stone, John Michael Rysbrack, Louis Francois Roubiliac, Joseph Wilton, John Flaxman and Alfred Stevens. A total of 770 pieces by 189 sculptors are included, more than a third of which have never been published before. The catalogue, wide-ranging and scholarly, will serve both as an invaluable work of reference, and a history of the great tradition of sculpture in Britain over 400 years.
