Footnotes

Bartolomeo Cavaceppi's workshop in Rome was one of the most acclaimed destinations for British tourists in the second half of the 18th century. First training as a sculptor, he entered the Accademia di San Luca in 1732. In 1734 he was appointed by the nephew of Pope Clement XI, Cardinal Albani, as his personal art restorer. From this important relationship, the sculptor earned many commissions from foreign tourists, particularly British collectors.

Cavaceppi found antique statues, restored them, and also made reproduction copies. In addition, he also created original works 'all'antica,' - in the antique style. Some of his works were known to be his own original designs but on other occasions they were confused with authentic antiquities as he rarely signed his work. However, at the height of his fame, Cavaceppi did publish three volumes of engraved images of the works that he had restored or possessed which today give some idea of his prolific output.
