Grand Tour Red Jasper Columns
About the Item
The “Grand Tour” was an essential aspect of the education of young noblemen during the 18th century and early 19th century. Their premier destination was Italy where they would soak in politics, culture and art of the country whose ancient and Renaissance art awaited their discovery and purchase. These young men were attracted by the heritage of the ancient Roman monuments, particularly those still half buried in the Roman forum. Objects such as this column would have been acquired by these grand tourists and connoisseurs as reminders of these ruined wonders. Their recreation as miniature ruins survive as testament to their value to a society obsessed by the “picturesque”.
