John William Waterhouse (1849–1917)
A conference organised by the Paul Mellon Centre and the
Royal Academy of Arts, 2 September 2009
John William Waterhouse, Hylas and the Nymphs (detail), 1896, Manchester City Galleries
John William Waterhouse is amongst the most visible of
artists in today’s popular culture. His painting, The Lady
of Shalott, has consistently sold more postcards for Tate
than any other work of art. Reproductions of his work
on posters, prints, and greetings cards are invariably
bestsellers, and there are dozens of websites that feature
his art. Yet Waterhouse has been largely ignored in
academic art history and museum practice. Although his
paintings won medals at world’s fairs from the 1880s
through to 1900, his role on the international art scene has
been forgotten; scholars have yet to explore his complex
engagement with ancient and modern literary traditions,
or with the exciting new developments of the later
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in archaeology,
anthropology, comparative mythology, occultism and
paganism. Only now is he receiving his first full-scale
retrospective exhibition, at the Groninger Museum in
the Netherlands (14 December 2008–3 May 2009), the
Royal Academy of Arts in London (27 June–13
September 2009), and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts
(1 October 2009-7 February 2010).
This conference brings together five scholars from
different disciplines and the four co-curators of the
exhibition to consider new perspectives revealed by this
first, comprehensive showing of Waterhouse’s work.
The conference is organised by the Paul Mellon Centre for
Studies in British Art in collaboration with the
Institute of Greece, Rome, and the Classical Tradition at
the University of Bristol, with a generous gift from the
Vice Chancellor, Professor Eric Thomas, and Mrs Narell
Thomas. It will conclude with an evening reception and
private view of the exhibition at the Royal Academy.
Full conference fee, including coffee, lunch, tea and
reception at the Royal Academy of Arts: £40. Student and
Senior Citizen concessions are available at a reduced rate of
£20. To register for the conference please check availability

Bracker); the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art
(Dr. Martin Postle); and the Department of History of Art,
University College London (Professor Andrew Hemingway).
Sponsored by the Terra Foundation for American Art.
The object of this conference is to rethink Romanticism
in the American visual arts of the period c.1789–1848
within a trans-Atlantic framework. The twelve papers and
keynote lecture will address the issues of Romanticism
from a number of perspectives.
The conference brings together scholars from both
sides of the Atlantic working on cognate themes, and will
provide the forum for extended discussions rather than
simply presentations of research findings. The event will
open with a keynote lecture by Professor Alan Wallach
(College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, VA) at the
Royal Academy on the evening of Thursday 15 October,
which will lay out key themes to be taken up in the
succeeding days.
The conference venue will be the Paul Mellon Centre on
Friday 16 October, and University College London
(Cruciform Building) on Saturday 17 October. Other
speakers include Dr Matthew Beaumont (University College
London); Professor Emeritus David Bindman (University
College London); Professor Leo Costello (Rice University,
Houston); Professor Mark Ford (University College
London); Professor Paul Giles (University of Oxford);

will conclude with a round-table discussion.
A small exhibition of relevant works by American
artists from the Academy’s collection will be shown
concurrently in the Royal Academy Library Print Room.
Conference fees are £50.00 and £25.00 to students and
concessions. The fee covers a drinks reception at the Royal
Academy and tea, coffee and a sandwich lunch on the
Friday and Saturday. Inquiries and booking requests
should be directed to the Conference Assistant, Dr.

Antiquity at Home
Study Day at the Paul Mellon
Centre, 28–29th January 2010
THE PAUL MELLON CENTRE CONFERENCE AND PUBLICATION
Related publication
This conference will address the collecting of antiquities
in Europe, primarily focussing on England and Italy, in
the eighteenth century. The event will coincide with the
forthcoming publication by Yale University Press of Digging
and Dealing in Eighteenth Century Rome, a book begun by the
noted Grand Tour scholar, the late Ilaria Bignamini, and
completed by Clare Hornsby. This project explores the
involvement of the British in Rome in the enormously
active market in marbles and other antiquities in mid- to
late-century. The conference has been jointly planned by the
Paul Mellon Centre and the Department of Greek and
Roman Antiquities at the British Museum and opens with a
keynote lecture in the BP Lecture Theatre at the British
Museum at 6.30 pm on Thursday 28th January by
Professor David Watkin, and continues on Friday 29th at
the Paul Mellon Centre.
Speakers, including Tim Knox, Director of Sir John
Soane’s Museum and Ian Jenkins, Senior Curator, Department
of Greek and Roman Antiquities, at the British Museum,
will look in detail at different aspects of Antiquity at Home,
concentrating on objects and collections. There will be talks
looking closely at specific marbles and house collections
and broader examinations of the rôle of collectors such
as Charles Townley, Richard Worsley and the Gaetani
family in Naples.
The Study Day will begin with a tribute to Ilaria
Bignamini by Professor Andrew Wallace-Hadrill, Master
of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge and formerly
Director of the British School at Rome.
Full conference fee, including admission to Professor
Watkin’s lecture on 28 January, coffee, lunch, tea and a
wine reception at the Paul Mellon Centre on 29 January,
is £40 (Student and Senior Citizen concessions £20). To
register for the conference please check availability with

Digging and Dealing in Eighteenth-Century Rome
by Ilaria Bignamini and Clare Hornsby
This important and long-awaited book offers the first
overview of all British-led excavation sites in and around
Rome in the Golden Age of the Grand Tour. Based on
work carried out by the late Ilaria Bignamini, the book
traces sculptures and other works of art that are
currently in public collections around the world from
their original find-sites via the dealers and entrepreneurs
to the private collectors in Britain. In the first of two
volumes, approximately fifty sites, each located by maps,
are analysed in historical and topographical detail,
supported by fifty newly written and researched
biographies of the major names in the Anglo-Italian
world of dealing and collecting. Essays by Bignamini and
Hornsby introduce the field of study and elucidate the
complex bureaucracy of the relevant departments of the
Papal courts. The second volume of the book is a
collection of hundreds of letters from the dealers and
excavators abroad to collectors in England, offering a
rich source of information about all aspects of the art
market at the time.
Ilaria Bignamini was an historian of art and archaeology.
Clare Hornsby is Research Fellow at the British School at
Rome.

The Arts of Industry in the Age of Enlightenment
by Celina Fox
This book is about the people who did the work. The arts
of industry encompassed both liberal and mechanical
realms – not simply the representation of work in the fine
art of painting, but the mechanical arts or skills involved in
the processes of industry itself. Drawing on a wealth of
primary sources, Celina Fox argues that mechanics and
artisans used four principal means to describe and
rationalise their work: drawing, model making, societies
and publications. These four channels, the central themes
of this engrossing book, provided the basis for
experimentation and invention, explanation and
classification, validation and authorisation, promotion and
celebration, bringing them into the public domain and
achieving progress as a true part of the Enlightenment.
The book also examines the status of the mechanical
arts from the medieval period to the seventeenth century
and explains how and why entrepreneurs, mechanics and
artisans presented themselves to the world in portraits,
and how industry was depicted in landscape and genre
painting. The book concludes in the early nineteenth
century when, despite the drive towards specialisation and
exclusivity and the rise of the profession of engineer, the
broad sweep of the mechanical arts retained a distinct
identity for far longer than has generally been recognised.
The debates their presence provoked are still with us today.
Celina Fox is an independent scholar and museums
advisor. She was the editor of London World City.

Brilliant Effects: A Cultural History of Gem Stones
and Jewellery by Marcia Pointon
Diamonds are not for ever – nor necessarily are they a
girl’s best friend. Ranging from precious stones as raw
wealth to the symbolic properties of gems whether in
Antiquity and the Bible or in Victorian art and literature,
this book examines how small-scale and valuable
artefacts have figured in systems of belief and in political
and social practice in Europe since the Renaissance.
Marcia Pointon offers an in-depth study that, drawing on
unpublished evidence, reveals the importance of artefacts
produced by jewellers and horologists, and their
significance in shaping people’s understanding of the
world they live in. Pointon explores the capacity of jewels
not only to fascinate but also to create disorder and
controversy throughout history: what is materially
precious is invariably contentious, whether in religious or
in secular society; when what is precious is not gold bars
or bonds but finely crafted artefacts made from hard-won
imported materials, the stakes are particularly high. The
struggle for control of both material and meaning is
paramount, whether in scientific discourse (as with John
Ruskin’s crystallography) or in pictorial imagery, such as
Poussin’s interpretation of the origin of coral.
Marcia Pointon is Professor Emerita in History of Art,
Manchester University, and Honorary Research Fellow,
Courtauld Institute of Art, London.

A Biographical Dictionary of Sculptors in Britain,
1660–1851
by Ingrid Roscoe, Emma Hardy and M. G. Sullivan
This remarkable dictionary provides information on the
work of over 3,000 sculptors working in Britain between
1660 and 1851. It is a substantially expanded edition of
Gunnis’s Dictionary of British Sculptors, the primary
source for information on church monuments, portrait
busts, carved fireplaces and other sculpture since its
publication in 1951. The editorial team, and invited
experts in the field, have drawn on a mass of archival and
scholarly material, including Gunnis’s own extensive
unpublished archive, to rewrite all the major lives of the
sculptors, and to add over 1,000 new ones. Each entry
provides a brief bio graphy of the sculptor, where possible,
followed by a list of his or her known works. Each work
is identified by date and location, past or present.
Provenance, materials, exhibitions, known preparatory
sketches and models are also recorded. The book contains
a full list of bibliographical references and an index of
names and of locations.
Ingrid Roscoe is an independent scholar, Emma Hardy is
collections manager at the Geffrye Museum and M. G.
Sullivan is curator of sculpture at the Ashmolean
Museum.

Richard Norman Shaw (revised edition)
by Andrew Saint
Richard Norman Shaw (1831–1912) was the most fertile,
representative and immediately influential domestic
architect of the late Victorian period in England. His
training and early career coincided with the heyday of the
Gothic Revival, in which style he designed a handful of
original churches. His most prolific period of practice saw
the triumph of the ‘Old English’ and ‘Queen Anne’ domestic
styles which are largely associated with his name. A
series of powerful urban buildings designed towards the
end of Shaw’s career reveals him as one of the foremost
proponents of a revived classicism. In each of these styles
the piquant originality of Shaw’s designs and the
brilliance of his planning captivated his contemporaries
in the architectural and social world alike. He became the
undisputed leading architect of his day and the precursor
of such different talents as Lutyens and Voysey. In the
United States, Shaw’s distinctive contribution to English
domestic architecture played a formative part in the
evolution of the Shingle Style. This new edition of a
major work offers a completely revised text and new
introduction and is now illustrated generously in colour,
with many specially commissioned photographs.
Andrew Saint is the General Editor of The Survey of
London and the author of The Image of the Architect,
Towards A Social Architecture: The Role of School-Building
in Post- War England and Architect and Engineer: A Study in
Sibling Rivalry.
