About the Item

A rare set of the four seasons carved Carrara marble statues. This wonderful foursome are a take on the original four seasons. Autumn, spring, winter, summer (as pictured), are all represented through the action or clothing of each statue, as in Italian tradition. Dating to the early 18th century, these Italian carved marble figures were intended for garden use and would make a stunning centrepiece for a courtyard or garden, but they could also look beautiful inside a home. Their scale and style are a rare find, with most other versions being of small children, made from stone, or made in more recent years. Four seasons The Four Seasons are seen in ancient Greek mythology as the figures in charge of the four seasons of mankind. In ancient Rome, the four seasons were portrayed by the Horae, Greco-Roman goddesses of the seasons, natural order, and have sacred significance. Each season is characterised by a meaningful figure or statue that bears traditional identifiable symbols. The popularity of these figures peaked during the Roman period and again during the Renaissance.

Medieval English Alabaster Statue

Located in Wormelow, Herefordshire

A medieval English alabaster statue, possibly dating as far back as the late 14th / early 15th century, mounted on one of our exclusive large display plinths. Well weathered over the centuries, this 600-year-old statue depicts a medieval cloaked figure, possibly a monk, offering a glimpse into English architecture and sculpture of the Middle Ages. This sculpture is possibly made from Nottingham alabaster. During the 14th and 15th centuries, Nottingham was the centre of alabaster carving and painting. Alabaster works were mostly made as small alabaster models with religious themes. During the 16th century Reformation, many alabaster carvings were destroyed under King Henry VIII's rule, making any surviving examples even more significant. Provenance From the collection of Peter Hone (b. 1941). A master plaster caster, he is an expert and experienced collector, building up an extraordinary, museum-worthy collection of items in his one-bedroom flat in London W11...
