Goddess of the Pool, Small - Detail

If you wish to plumb the figure for a fountain so that water flows out of the urn... you will want to use a carbide masonry bit to drill a 1/4" or 3/8" hole through the bottom of the urn into the hollow cavity of the figure, and then feed a vinyl hose up from the hollow base.

The elegance of statuary has been a part of Europe since antiquity. The ancient Greeks created sculptural works with a beauty that has never been surpassed. The Romans, who came to dominate that civilization, had great admiration for Greek statues. They transported thousands of them to Italy to decorate their villas and public places. They copied those Greek masterpieces and in a similar style they also created great works of their own.

During the Middle Ages much of the technical skill acquired by the classical sculptors was lost. Carving was often intricate and beautiful and inspired by deep religious feeling but it was almost entirely a part of the architecture.

The revival of interest in free standing sculpture came with the Italian Renaissance and the wealthy patrons who gave support to artists fermenting with genius. The beauty and charm of sculptured work had come back to the Western World to stay. Throughout Europe it came to adorn fountains and public squares and the palaces and gardens of the wealthy. It is there today in great abundance. The American traveler cannot fail to be enticed by its elegance.

Statues have been less conspicuous and less available in America but they have become increasingly longed for. Travel, education, art books and the augmenting appreciation of beautiful things have brought Americans to understand the joy and pride that is experienced by possessing and living with fine pieces of sculpture.

Now it is possible to acquire beautiful statuary at affordable prices. In the past, unfortunately, it was only the wealthiest who could own statues. Although they are still associated with affluence, it is now possible through this collection for those of modest means to also own them.

One or more appropriately selected and properly placed statues may add distinction and elegance that cannot be acquired in any other way. The variety of sizes to be found in the collection makes it possible to place them at an entry, in a garden, on a table, in a niche, on a pedestal, on a mantle, piano or bookcase. They provide a point of conversation; they are admired and sometimes envied by your friends but most important of all, they are a source of continual enjoyment and pride to you.
