John Flaxman was renowned in his own day throughout Europe for his book illustrations; the drawings for the works of Homer, Aeschylus, Hesiod and Dante were inspirational for many contemporary painters, including David, Ingres, Goya and Gericault. He designed works for pottery and silverware and was also a prolific sculptor. This book offers a comprehensive appraisal of Flaxman's works and includes essays by scholars on subjects ranging from the artist's designs for silverwork to his influence on other European artists.
