EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite George II statuary chimneypiece, crafted around 1755 by the talented Thomas Carter. Standing at an impressive size of 147.4x191.8x26.6 cm, this marble masterpiece is held in a private collection. The focal point of this stunning chimneypiece is its intricately carved frieze, which features a captivating scene from Aesop's fable of the fox and the stork. The attention to detail in depicting this narrative is truly remarkable, as each character comes to life through Carter's skillful sculpting. The neoclassical design elements are evident throughout this Georgian-era piece, showcasing the elegance and sophistication that defined that period. Its presence undoubtedly adds a touch of refined beauty to any domestic setting it graces. The juxtaposition between the cunning fox and graceful stork creates a sense of tension within this sculptural composition, making it all the more intriguing for viewers to admire. This fusion of literature and artistry brings together two forms of expression into one harmonious creation. Capturing both literary enthusiasts and admirers of fine sculpture alike, this print serves as a testament to Carter's talent as well as his ability to bring stories to life through his craft. It stands as an enduring reminder of the timeless appeal found within Aesop's fables while also embodying the grandeur associated with Georgian neoclassical furniture design.
