Resumen de 'Love, Sympathy and Tenderness': Bertram Mackennal's monument to Lord and Lady Curzon
An article on a memorial in All Saints' Church in Derbyshire, U.K., created by Bertram Mackennal between 1907 and 1913 to commemorate George Nathanial Curzon, First Marquess Curzon of Kedleston, and his first wife, Mary Victoria. One of Mackennal's most elaborate and emotionally affecting works, the piece compares in its significance with his seminal Symbolist sculpture Circe (1893). Furthermore, as a double effigy, it is an extreme rarity. It is also a remarkably well-documented piece, and the archive dealing with its creation enables contemporary historians to reconstruct its progess and to examine the relationship between a leading sculptor and a famous patron while elucidating the otherwise abstruse iconography contained in the sculpture itself.
