Notes | Lord Leighton is better know as a painter than as a sculptor. When he exhibited a life-size version at the Royal Academy in 1877 it caused a sensation. Its dynamic vigorous style was very different from the colder more passive Victorian work. It was considered to mark the beginning of a movement called 'The New Sculpture' which included the sculptors Alfred Gilbert (1854-1934), George Frampton (1860-1928) and Thomas Brock (1847-1922). | | Purchased from the Handley-Read Collection, 1973. |
