Antique Statuary Carrara Marble Bust of John Milton, circa 1880
About the Item
Antique statuary carrara marble bust of John Milton.
Circa 1880
John Milton (9 December 1608 – 8 November 1674) was an English poet and civil servant for the Commonwealth of England under Oliver Cromwell. He wrote at a time of religious flux and political upheaval, and is best known for his epic poem Paradise Lost (1667), written in blank verse.
Milton’s poetry and prose reflect deep personal convictions, a passion for freedom and self-determination, and the urgent issues and political turbulence of his day. Writing in English, Latin, Greek, and Italian, he achieved international renown within his lifetime and he remains generally regarded as one of the preeminent writers in the English language.

Antique statuary Carrara sculpture “Venus Italica” after Antonio Canova
By Antonio Canova
Located in Tyrone, Northern Ireland
An antique Carrara marble sculpture “Venus Italica” after Antonio Canova (1757-1822)
Made in Italy during the 19th century.
When the Medici Venus was forcibly removed from the Tribuna of the Uffizi by Napoleon’s forces, King Louis I of Etruria commissioned Antonio Canova to replace the figure.

John de Vaere Statuary Marble Busts
Located in London, GB
A fine pair of George III statuary marble busts of a boy and a girl by John de Vaere (1755 – 1830), 1798.
Signed J DE-VAERE Sculpr. 1798.
Considering what a sensitive and accomplished sculptor he was, surprisingly little is known about John de Vaere. Born in France in 1755, he settled in England some time before 1786 when he enrolled as a student at the Royal Academy Schools. In 1787 he left to study in Rome, with the financial assistance of Josiah Wedgwood. In Rome he won a Silver Medal for Sculpture from the Pope and became an assistant to John Flaxman.
On his return to England in 1790, he worked as a modeler for Wedgwood until the latter’s death in 1795, after which he worked with Eleanor Coade, probably replacing John Bacon...
