| Sumario: | This is a book about classical sculptures in the early modern period, centuries after the decline and fall of Rome, when they began to be excavated, restored, and collected by British visitors in Italy in the second half of the eighteenth century.

Her study is comprehensively illustrated with over 100 phot. |
