British Sculpture 1470 to 2000: A Concise Catalogue of the Collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum

The unrivaled collection of post-medieval British sculpture in the Victoria and Albert Museum is here catalogued and illustrated for the first time. Its great strengths lie in the works from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, and virtually every major sculptor active during this period is represented -- among them Nicholas Stone, John Michael Rysbrack, Louis Francois Roubiliac, Joseph Wilton, John Flaxman, and Alfred Stevens. A total of 770 pieces by 189 sculptors are included, more than a third of which have never been published before. The catalogue, wide-ranging and scholarly, will serve both as an invaluable work of reference, and in effect a history of the great tradition of sculpture in Britain.Diane Bilbey is the author of 'British Sculpture 1470 to 2000: A Concise Catalogue of the Collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum', published 2002 under ISBN 9780810966031 and ISBN 0810966034.
