Plaster casts are an omnipresent feature in country houses, teaching
institutions and national museums. Differing widely in function, status and
technique, they are still frequently categorized as copies of more
illustrious originals in a cheap medium. This study day seeks to highlight
the diverse nature of these objects and will study the history of different
types of plaster cast collection. Scholars will discuss the challenges of
display and restoration faced by those looking after them today. Case
studies will focus on individual artists as makers of plaster casts, as
well as on collections including that of the sixteenth-century Paduan
collector Marco Mantova Benavides and those of the Academies of Fine Art in
Madrid and Vienna.
Fees: £30 (students: £10)
