Classic Sculptures

The classical tradition has outlasted every style that replaced it, and the reason is that it solved the problems first. How weight sits through a standing figure, how drapery describes the body underneath, how a portrait reads at three metres as well as at one: those were worked out in Greece and Rome and have not been improved on.

This collection is that tradition, carved and cast by hand. Marble and bronze do nearly all of it, because the tradition and the materials developed together and neither works properly without the other. Marble takes an edge fine enough for individual curls and folds of cloth; bronze holds poses that stone cannot support.

The subjects are the canon: gods and goddesses, emperors and philosophers, Venus and David, angels and cherubs, portrait busts and torsos, and the animals of classical statuary. Browse them in Greek and Roman statues, bust and torso sculptures and angel statues.

Classical work belongs outdoors as much as in, which is where most of it has always stood. Marble weathers gently and bronze patinates, and both look better after a decade in a garden than they did on delivery. See the outdoor ranges in garden statues and marble sculptures and statues.
