Full Lot Description
John Henning, Scottish, 1771-1851, a collection of six plaster friezes from the Parthenon, featuring scenes of figures, chariots and charioteers, framed and glazed, 5cm high x 15cm wide
Note: These miniature copies of the famous sculptures from the Parthenon were made by John Henning (1771-1851), who came to London from Paisley, Scotland in 1811. Henning was impressed by the beauty of the sculptures from the Parthenon frieze and asked for permission to draw and model them. Henning carved versions in slate as sunken impressions, from which raised versions were then cast in white plaster. Henning reproduced the frieze in sections measuring 5cm (two inches) by 15cm (six inches). These were sold in boxed sets.
Henning and his son John Henning Junior (1802-57) later became well known for carving a partial replica of the Parthenon frieze around the Athenaeum, the gentleman's club in Waterloo Place, London, in 1828.
