PREFACE, The present volume by Mr. Arthur Smith, Assistant in the Department of Greek and Eoman Antiquities, in- cludes the sculptures of the Archaic period ; those of the Parthenon and other Athenian buildings ; the remains of the temple at Phigaleia ; the Greek reliefs, and some other sculptures which, though produced in Eoman times, yet represent Greek originals of the great age. In the section which deals with the sculptures of Athens much has been retained from Sir Charles Newton's Guide to the Elgin Boom, Pts. I.-II. While adding the results of more recent research, Mr. Smith has contributed on his part interesting material. The sculptures of the archaic period have of late years been the subject of much discussion ; the results of these discussions, as they apply to the collection of the British Museum, have now been brought together and sum- marized. The Greek reliefs, which form an important section of the present volume, belong to a class of sculptures which have produced much difference of opinion as to the subjects represented by them. Mr. Smith has stated briefly the principal views, by way of introduction to the several classes of reliefs. A. S. Murray 3rd Lecemher, 1891.

The collection of ancient sculpture in marble, included in the Department of Greek and Eoman Antiquities in the British Museum, may be said to represent the efforts of more than two centuries, though the founda- tion of the Museum itself is of a considerably more recent date.^ The British Museum was established by Parliament in 1753. In that year, by the statute 26 Geo. II. cap. 22, a trust was created to unite and maintain as one collec- tion the Museum of Sir Hans Sloane, the Cottonian Library, and the Harleian Collection of Manuscripts. Sir Hans Sloane (1 660-1 753),^ physician, botanist, and President of the Eoyal Society in succession to Newton, had formed in his lifetime a very extensive museuru, con- sisting mainly of books, natural history collections, and ethnographical objects. At the same time classical an- tiquities were represented by bronzes, gems, vases, terra- cottas, and a few sculptures in marble. The examples, * For the history of the collections in the British Museum, see Edwards, Lives of the Founders of the British Museum ; Michaelis,

    MARMOREALITIES: CLASSICAL NAKEDNESS IN BRITISH SCULPTURE AND HISTORICAL PAINTING 1798-1840 CORA HATSHEPSUT GILROY-WARE PH.D UNIVERSITY OF YORK HISTORY OF ART SEPTEMBER 2013 ABSTRACT Exploring the fortunes of naked Graeco-Roman corporealities in British art achieved between 1798 and 1840, this study looks at the ideal body’s evolution from a site of ideological significance to a form designed consciously to evade political meaning. While the ways in which the incorporation of antiquity into the French Revolutionary project forged a new kind of investment in the classical world have been well-documented, the drastic effects of the Revolution in terms of this particular cultural formation have remained largely unexamined in the context of British sculpture and historical painting. By 1820, a reaction against ideal forms and their ubiquitous presence during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wartime becomes commonplace in British cultural criticism. Taking shape in a series of chronological case-studies each centring on some of the nation’s most conspicuous artists during the period, this thesis navigates the causes and effects of this backlash, beginning with a state-funded marble monument to a fallen naval captain produced in 1798-1803 by the actively radical sculptor Thomas Banks. The next four chapters focus on distinct manifestations of classical nakedness by Benjamin West, Benjamin Robert Haydon, Thomas Stothard together with Richard Westall, and Henry Howard together with John Gibson and Richard James Wyatt, mapping what I identify as

  • Entablature Refers to the System of Moldings and Bands Which Lie Horizontally Above Columns, Resting on Their Capitals
    An entablature refers to the system of moldings and bands which lie horizontally above columns, resting on their capitals. Considered to be major elements of classical architecture, entablatures are commonly divided into three parts: the architrave, frieze, and cornice. E ntablature by stromberg ARCHITRAVE The architrave is the supporting element, and the lowest of the three main parts of an entablature: the undecorated lintel resting on the columns. FRIEZE The frieze is the plain or decorated horizontal unmolded strip located between the cornice and the architrave. Clay Academy, Dallas, TX Stromberg offers you the freedom to choose. Whether your project requires authentic classical entablature, or a modern look, we will design your entablature to perfectly match your building’s unique style . We have extensive knowledge of all the major classical orders, including Ionic, Doric, and Corinthian, and we can craft columns and entablatures that comply with each order’s specifications.

THE excavations of the British School at Athens, in the winters of 1896 and 1897, had the result of determining that the site, on which they were carried on, had been a burial ground previous to the sixth cen- tury B.C. and again after the third century, and that, in the meantime, it must have been covered by the Greek building, of which we laid bare the foundations. The plan of this building resembles that of a large gymnasium; the period of its existence coincides with that during which we know the gymnasium of Kynosarges to have existed, and the position of the site is such as the various mentions of Kynosarges by classic authors leads us to expect.

HADDONSTONE is a well-known reputable company and C G Fry & Son, award- winning house builder, has used their cast stone architectural detailing at a number of our South West developments over the last ten years. We erected the GIBBS Classical Porch at Tregunnel Hill in Newquay and use HADDONSTONE because of the consistency, product, price and service. Calder Loth, Senior Architectural Historian, Virginia Department of Historic Resources, USA As an advocate of architectural literacy, it is gratifying to have Haddonstone’s informative brochure defining the basic components of literate classical porches. Hugh Petter’s cogent illustrations and analysis of the porches’ proportional systems make a complex subject easily grasped. A porch celebrates an entrance; it should be well mannered. James Gibbs’s versions of the classical orders are the appropriate choice. They are subtlety beautiful, quintessentially English, and fitting for America. Jeremy Musson, English author, editor and presenter Haddonstone’s new Gibbs range is the result of an imaginative collaboration with architect Hugh Petter and draws on the elegant models provided by James Gibbs, one of the most enterprising design heroes of the Georgian age. The result is a series of Doric and Ionic porches with a subtle variety of treatments which can be carefully adapted to bring elegance and dignity to houses old and new. www.haddonstone.com www.adamarchitecture.com 2 • THE GIBBS RANGE OF CLASSICAL PORCHES • Introduction The GIBBS Range of Classical Porches is designed The GIBBS Range is conceived around the two by Hugh Petter, Director of ADAM Architecture oldest and most widely used Orders - the Doric and and inspired by the Georgian architect James Ionic.

  • The Parthenon, Part I: from Its Multiple Beginnings to 432 BCE"
    1 THE FORTNIGHTLY CLUB Of REDLANDS, CALIFORNIA Founded 24 January 1895 Meeting Number 1856 March 13, 2014 "The Parthenon, Part I: From its Multiple Beginnings to 432 BCE" Bill McDonald Assembly Room, A. K. Smiley Public Library 2 [1] (Numbers in red catalog the slides) Fortnightly Talk #6 From Herekleides of Crete, in the 3rd century BCE: “The most beautiful things in the world are there [in Athens}… The sumptuous temple of Athena stands out, and is well worth a look. It is called the Parthenon and it is on the hill above the theatre. It makes a tremendous impression on visitors.” Reporter: Did you visit the Parthenon during your trip to Greece?” Shaq: “I can’t really remember the names of the clubs we went to.” Architects, aesthetes, grand tour-takers from England, France and Germany all came to Rome in the 3rd quarter of the 18th century, where they developed on uneven evidence a newly austere view of the classical world that in turn produced the Greek revival across northern Europe and in America. Johann Joachim Winckelmann (1717 – 1768) [2], a self-made scholar of ancient Greek language and texts, was their unofficial high priest. In 1755 Winckelmann arrived for the first time in Rome, where thanks not only to his brilliant publications but also to a recent and, shall we say, a timely conversion to Catholicism, he was admitted by papal authorities to the Vatican galleries and storerooms (his friend Goethe said that Winckelmann was really “a pagan”). His contemporaries in Rome saw Greek civilization as a primitive source for Roman art, and had never troubled to isolate Greek art from its successor; Winckelmann reversed that, making Greek art and 3 architecture, especially sculpture—and especially of the young male form that he especially admired—not only distinctive in its own right but the font of the greatest Western art.
