The elegance of statuary has been a part of Europe for centuries. 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 the Greek statuary. They transported thousands of them to Italy to decorate their villas and public places. They copied the Greek masterpieces and in a similar style, they also created their own great works of art.

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 deeply religious feelings though it was almost entirely a part of the architecture.

The revival of interest in free standing sculpture came with the Italian Renaissance and the wealthly patrons who gave support to artists fermenting with genius. The beauty and charm of sculptured work had come back to the Western World. Throughout Europe it came to adorn fountains and public squares and the palaces and gardens of the wealthy.

Statues have been less conspicuous and less available in America but have become increasingly desired. Travel, education, and the appreciation of beautiful things have brought Americans to understand the joy and pride that is experienced with owning fine pieces of sculpture.
