Synopsis
Excerpt from Outlines From the Antients: Exhibiting Their Principles of Composition in Figures and Basso-Relievos Taken Chiefly From Inedited Monuments of Greek and Roman Sculpture; With an Introductory Essay
It was the peculiar happiness of the writer on his first visit to Rome, about the year 1784, to find there what he ardently sought, in a diligent school of real students both in sculpture and painting. Thus situated, and earnestly devoted to the examnation of every excellent work of antiquity, partienlarly those of sculpture and the higher branches of painting and design, without the slightest intention of ever following it as a profession, he made it a point at his arrival, to mix with the society of the most intelligent and industrious artists of that city and, when disengaged from viewing the ancient monuments and marbles, such were his selected associates.
