About the Item
Elegant Pair The Italian 19th Century Grand Tour Classical Greek God And Goddess Apollo And Diana Decorative Alabaster Busts For A Wonderful Library Desk
Depicting Apollo Belvedere & Diana the Huntress Mounted On Turned Ebonised Circular Bases
The Grand Tour was the principally 17th- to early 19th-century custom of a traditional trip through Europe, with Italy as a key destination, undertaken by upper-class young European men of sufficient means and rank (typically accompanied by a tutor or family member) when they had come of age (about 21 years old). The custom—which flourished from about 1660 until the advent of large-scale rail transport in the 1840s and was associated with a standard itinerary—served as an educational rite of passage. Though it was primarily associated with the British nobility and wealthy landed gentry, similar trips were made by wealthy young men of other Protestant Northern European nations, and, from the second half of the 18th century, by some South and North Americans.
