Queen Victoria's Equestrian Portrait Statues (Paperback) (2020)
~EN PB NW
ISBN: 9781912793013 bzw. 1912793016, vermutlich in Englisch, PMSA PUBLISHING, United Kingdom, Taschenbuch, neu.
Lieferung aus: Vereinigtes Königreich Großbritannien und Nordirland, Free shipping.
Von Händler/Antiquariat, Book Depository International [58762574], London, United Kingdom.
Language: English. Brand new Book. The sculptured image of Queen Victoria with which countless jubilee and posthumous memorials have made us familiar, is of a standing or seated figure with orb or sceptre or both, a dignified, unsmiling grandmother of Empire. Which may cause us to forget the more energetic young woman, whose habit had been to ride at the head of a sometimes thirty strong cavalcade through Windsor Park in the early years of her reign. The image of the equestrian Victoria was to inspire a group of sculptures, not all of which have survived, but which are remarkable for being the first sculpted equestrian portraits of any contemporary woman, let alone a queen, reflecting recent advances in side-saddle design and fashions in riding costume. A pleasant enough artistic excursion it might be supposed, but one which gave rise to a true 'battle royal' amongst sculptors around 1850. The disputed prize was the commission for a statue commemorating the Queen's visit to Glasgow, but, for the man who won it, Carlo Marochetti, it was to prove no more than a Pyrrhic victory.
