Abstract

Julius Bryant's contribution is titled 'Gentlemen prefer bronze: garden sculpture and sculpture gardens in Britain (1720-1860)'. Disregarding both non-Western and ancient sculpture, the material under scrutiny is the collecting and display, in Europe and the United States, of sculpture from the early Renaissance up to the interwar period - that is, between I c. i 1500 and I c. i 1930. An outstanding setting for sculpture was formed at Woburn Abbey, where the pre-eminent collection of Canova's works was displayed in one of the most significant private sculpture venues of the early nineteenth century.
