| Flaxman carved this sculpture in Rome, where he lived and worked. pollo and Marpessa was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1800 and presented by Flaxman as his Diploma Work. The work demonstrates how Flaxman successfully translated the classical line of his celebrated illustrations to Homer which also date from his time in Italy into sculptural form. Flaxman felt he could only ââ¬Ëconvert the beauty and grace of ancient poetry by composing the grand lines of figures without the intrusion of useless, impertinent or trivial objects. |
