1676 1ed Arundel Marble
Sculptures ART Marmora Oxoniensia OXFORD Prideaux Latin
The ‘Arundel Marbles’ are a famous collection
of ancient Greco-Roman marble sculptures housed in Oxford. Historians and
collectors began putting these sculptures together in the early 17th-century
and were displayed in the Arundel House. Many of the pieces depict famous Roman
figures and gods such as Cicero, Sappho, and Eros. The sculptures themselves
are fascinating set of ancient artwork which inspired Humphrey Prideaux’s book
on the collection. “Marmora Oxoniensia ex Arundellianis” is Prideaux’s
catalogue of the collection (and similar other collections of ancient
sculptures), and the chronological events of the collection.
