The expression "the Zola of Sculpture" was coined in the circles of the Royal Academy in the 1880s as a term of abuse.

Embedded within this collaborative book is the editor’s proposition that Rodin came to play an important role in the cultural politics of the Entente Cordiale at a critical juncture of European

Despite its size and importance, the Ince Blundell Collection of Classical Sculpture has never been completely catalogued or published. Part 1 of Volume 1 introduced the collection to a wider public and provided a detailed study of the female portraits. Now, in an accessible as well as authoritative presentation, Jane Fejfer gives an equally detailed and illuminating study of the much larger number of Ince Blundell male portraits. Her expert work is enhanced with excellent photographs by David Flower. Placing a remarkable collection in its archaeological and collecting context, this work is a

From Athens and Arcadia on one side of the Aegean Sea and from Ionia, Lycia, and Karia on the other, this book brings together some of the great monuments of classical antiquity --among them two of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the later temple of Artemis at Ephesos and the Mausoleum at Halikarnassos. Drawing on the Greek and Lycian architecture and sculpture in the British Museum--a collection second to none in quality, quantity, and geographical and chronological range--this lavishly illustrated volume tells a remarkable story reaching from the archaic temple of Artemis, the Part
