The Return of the Gods – Neoclassical Sculpture in Britain
Photography by Adam Laycock
The Return of the Gods: Neoclassical Sculpture
in Britain exhibition at Tate Britain presented some of the finest works of sculpture acquired by British patrons between 1760 and 1860, including Canova’s The Three Graces. These were displayed in the monumental Duveen Galleries – dramatically spot-lit whilst rest of the gallery was blacked out.
The gallery atmosphere was designed to astonish and captivate, and the graphics simply recreated the high contrast set by the lighting of the white marble and the darkness of the gallery with a classic but dramatic monotone palette.
