| Synopsis: |
This fully illustrated catalogue brings to light a forgotten masterpiece of Regency sculpture - the beautiful and mysterious Capriccio by the Italian gem-engraver and medallist Benedetto Pistrucci (1783-1855). Thought lost since 1855, the Capriccio is an enigmatic composition of heaped-up fragments brilliantly carved from a single block of white marble. The very recent emergence of this mysterious sculpture is considered to be one of the major recent reiscoveries in British sculpture. The catalogue accompanies an exhibition at Sir John Soane's Museum and at the Waddesdon Manor in 2006. Tim Knox was director of Sir John Soane's Museum from 2005-2013. |
