Devotional Wood Sculpture from the North

The Grand Tour of Italy in the 18th century inspired a demand for souvenirs in the form of bronze reductions of the most celebrated ancient marbles and monuments in Rome. Among the leading founders were Giacomo and Giovanni Zoffoli, whose works are represented in this fine collection of Grand Tour bronzes from the renowned contemporary art gallery Karsten Schubert London.
