- Title
Giovanni Battista Guelfi: five busts for Queen Caroline's Hermitage in Richmond.
- Authors
Balderston, Gordon
- Abstract
The article provides details which prove that Giovanni Battista Guelfi was the sculptor who made the busts housed in the Hermitage of Queen Caroline at Richmond Old Lodge in Great Britain. It mentions that the exposition of documentary sources demonstrates that Guelfi was licensed to create busts of Clarke, Boyle, Locke, Newton and Wollaston for the Hermitage. It relates that they were carved in marble between 1731 and 1732, and had all been installed in the Hermitage in February 1733. The author adds that further evidence that Guelfi has carved the busts in marble comes from a set of prints dated October 1735.
