George Frideric Handel
height 136 cm Victoria and Albert Museum, London Roubilliac sculpted the portrait of Handel for the Vauxhall Gardens in London. The composer is fingeringthe strings of hi lyre like another Apollo while a putto transcribes the notes at his feet; yet Handel is dressed in ordinary clothes and has even neglected to remove what appears to be his nightcap. Listen to an example of Handel's music, the famous Largo from his opera Serse (Xerxes)

Paganini
height 32 cm Mus?es de la Ville de Paris, Paris All the Romantic sculptors executed medallions, a form of portrait that was quicker, less burdensome and cheaper than the bust. Many of them embarked on the portrait statuette connected with the contemporary world of politics and the theatre, unless it concerned the intimate effigy of the artist's wife and children. With Dantan, the statuette shifts towards the burden, born of the excessive use of phrenology and physiognomy, of the accumulation of accessories. Forming the Mus?e Dantan, or Dantanorama, this collection of caricatures which includes literary, political, artistic and scientific figures constitutes the satirical counterparts to David's medallions. Paganini was one of the greatest violin virtusosos of all time, he wrote numerous difficult studies for the instrument, many of which including ground-breaking new techniques of playing. In addition, he composed many pieces for guitar. Listen to an example of Paganini's guitar music

Assumption of St Catherine
1667 Marble Santa Catarina da Siena a Magnapoli, Rome Caffa was the best of Bernini's followers. His relief of the Sienese mystic stands in direct relationship to Bernini's Ecstasy of St Theresa and would have been unthinkable without it. A pupil of Ferrata, Caffa directly established himself through his models and drawings, and even Bernini let it be known that the younger man had overtaken him in his art. Caffa's sculpture reinvented the aesthetic qualities of Bernini's late style in new terms, thereby establishing a bridge between High and Late Baroque sculpture. This is seen most clearly in the Ecstasy of St Catherine of Siena in the Dominican convent of Santa Caterina da Siena a Magnapoli in Rome.

Sorrow
1816 Marble, height 135 cm P?re-Lachaise Cemetery, Paris The P?re-Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, opened in 1804, was soon covered with monuments and these, together with the beauty of the site and the many plants and shrubs surrounding the tombs, made it during the romantic period a popular resort on half-days and holidays. Under the Ancien R?gime, people sought to ensure their salvation by endowing foundations; in the nineteenth century, their successors were anxious above all that their memory should not die, oblivion being in their eyes ultimate death. The decree law of 1804, followed by the creation of the big cemeteries outside the city walls, was an expression of this new materialistic form of respect for the dead and guaranteed the success of the sale of burial plots in perpetuity and monuments designed to preserve - and extol - the memory of the deceased. In keeping with this trend, images depicting Death were seldom placed in cemeteries. On the other hand, the representation of Grief, am indirect way of paying tribute to the dead, is a favourite theme very much in evidence in funerary sculpture, expressed sometimes in allegorical, sometimes in narrative form. As early as 1816 Milhomme created a fine figure expressing the sorrow of the widow and six children of Pierre Gareau, killed in an accident. The Milhomme figure begot many more of the same kind, but the scenes of affliction came to an end with the years 1820-25. Author: MILHOMME, Fran?ois-Dominique-Aim? Title: Sorrow, Tomb of Pierre Gareau Form: sculpture , 1801-1850 , French , religious
