John Flaxman

Meer over het boek

John Flaxman (1755-1826) was a leading exponent of British Neoclassicism, renowned during his lifetime for minimally drawn illustrations. Featuring texts by eminent curator and art historian David Bindman, this catalogue consists predominantly of drawings and plaster models for sculpture from the UCL Art Museum at University College London. Having learnt the techniques of sculpting in his father's plaster-cast workshop, Flaxman began his own career as a designer for Josiah Wedgwood's world-famous pottery.
