John Flaxman seemed to his contemporaries to be two quite different people. On the continent he was the famous author of outline illustrations to Homer and Dante; but in Britain he was a kind of national sculptor whose monuments were in hundreds of churches throughout the country. This lecture will look at the artist as a religious sculptor, especially at his Swedenborgian connections and imagery.
