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.

By Alfred Boucher
Located in Brighton, West Sussex
Alfred Boucher (French, 1850-1934), ‘Diana the Huntress’, A Near Lifesize Statuary Marble Group. Modelled nude with head turned looking to her left, striding forward holding the greyhound by its collar with her right hand and a giltwood bow in her left hand. On an integral carved base with foliage support. Signed 'A. BOUCHER' Boucher’s choice of pose is deliberately indebted to the celebrated mid-16th century painting of Diana the Huntress by an anonymous artist of the School of Fontainebleau. The painting is a mythical representation of Diane de Poitiers, the mistress of King Henry II, in the guise of the goddess Diana, who is shown nude, walking forward beside a greyhound, looking over her left shoulder and holding a bow. Another clear antecedent for Boucher’s ‘Diane the Huntress...
