The Restoration of a Georgian Period Parthenon Frieze (2014)
During the Georgian Period a sculptor named John Henning (1771-1851) obtained permission to make a model of the Parthenon friezes. After twelve years of carving he produced a smaller scale slate copy of the Parthenon frieze in which castings were made for collectors. Very few of these have survived as plaster is a fragile medium. In 2013 one of these rare pieces was discovered and was preserved in an archival state through conservation. Because of Henning’s study and model of the original...
