О скульптуре

Словами музея — в подлиннике

This is a plaster model made by John Flaxman in England, about 1824. The model represents a crouching Cupid and is probably related to the figure of Cupid executed by Flaxman for Samuel Rogers in 1824, together with a pendant figure of Psyche. Models for these are in Sir John Soane's Museum (inv. S33 and S34).

John Flaxman (1755-1826) was an English sculptor, designer and teacher. He was the most famous English Neo-classical sculptor of the late 18th century and the early 19th. He focused on monumental sculpture and church monuments and portrait busts. A large collection of his plaster models is held in the Strang Print Room, University College, London. He also made outline illustrations of Homer, Aeschylus and Dante. Many of those in his sketchbooks (now in the V&A) were drawn from the antique while he was in Italy. Furthermore he produced models for pottery and silver supplying the pottery manufacturer Josiah Wedgwood among others. He thus can be considered as an important pioneer in the development of Industrial Design.
