  • The Lansdowne Athlete
    The Lansdowne Athlete THE LANSDOWNE ATHLETE 1st century B.C. to 1st century A.D. Made of Pentelic marble, 25.6 cm.(10 in.) high The striking, just under life-sized, head of a young man, with idealised features, is turned slightly to the left. His head is crowned with closely curled luxurious hair, he has a slightly parted mouth with full lips and dimpled corners, with a rounded cleft chin below and perfect straight nose above. The facial features are finely sculpted, with a hint of musculature, cheek bone, and delicate neck folds. The naturalistically modelled head encapsulates both power, innocence and boldness, displaying the skill and virtuosity of the unknown sculptor to incredible effect. Indeed the workmanship can be likened to the great Greek sculptor, Lysippus, whose many bronze masterpieces exhibited the same finesse Marble head of an athlete, Museo Archeologico and dexterity; characteristics often admired and emulated by others. Nazionale, Palestrina, Inv. no 568 The identification as an athlete can be made by the distinctive facial features of the youth, including the closely cropped hair, challenging gaze and thick muscular neck. Parallels with other known pieces include; the Head of an Athlete, Museo Archeologico Nazionale, Palestrina, Inv. no 568 (cf. illustrations), as well as reflecting such iconic works as the bronze Antikythera Youth, National Museum Athens, Inv. no 13396. Pentelic marble Pentelic marble is from a quarry complex on the slopes of Mount Pentelicus, some 16 km. north of Athens. The stone is characterised by its fine grain and pure colour; the white tinged with a golden hue.

  • The Development of the Lansdowne Gallery
    Press release – October 2016 Lansdowne Legacy: the development of the Lansdowne Gallery an exhibition charting the history of the Lansdowne Sculpture Gallery at Sir John Soane’s Museum 20 October – 12 November 2016 Office of Robert Adam, Lansdowne House principal façade, 1765. SM Adam volume 39/50. The Sir John Soane’s Museum presents an exhibition of drawings charting the fascinating legacy and history of the Lansdowne Sculpture Gallery, one of the lost treasures of Regency time. Curated by Dr Elizabeth Angelicoussis, one of the leading experts on the Lansdowne Gallery, this exhibition will offer an unprecedented opportunity to discover the complex history of this significant collection through an array of original artworks. 1 William Petty-Fitzmaurice, 1st Marquess of Lansdowne, amassed a fabulous collection of classical sculpture between the mid-1760s and the late 1790s. It was intended that these works should be displayed in a sculpture gallery specially designed in the north - west annex of Lansdowne House in Berkeley Square, in London, which had been built to designs by Robert Adam. Lord Lansdowne could not settle on a design for this important room and commissioned alternative schemes by six different architects. The Gallery was originally designed as a library by Adam; however Lord Lansdowne also wanted a sculpture gallery and debated between these two functions for years. Finally he opted for a design by George Dance the younger, which offered a compromise between the two. Lord Lansdowne did not live to see his marbles collection in situ and ultimately it was his second son, the 3rd Marquess, who commissioned the final scheme to designs by Robert Smirke in the early 19th century.

I must firstly thank my supervisors – past and present – all who have supported, challenged, and encouraged me along the way. To my current supervisors, Professor Emilia Jamzoriak and Axel Müller, a huge thank you is due. They have been endlessly helpful, critical, and whose insight helped to bring this project to fruition. Further thanks to Dr Paul Cavill who told me to ‘jump in with both feet’, which I have done and have not looked back since. I must also thank Professor Stephen Alford, whose knowledge on the Tudor period is infinite and whose support is much appreciated. Last, but certainly not least, my appreciation goes out to Kate Giles who helped make the viva experience a little less scary and a lot more fun.
