Hamilton"; six hand-coloured plates depicting scenes with Roman and Greek Classical and mythical figures and beasts. The scenes taken from the vases in the collection of Sir William Hamilton, 40x65cm: together with five further hand-coloured scenes from the same edition, in matching frames, mounted, (6) Note: Sir William Hamilton British ambassador to Naples from 1764 to 1800. An avid antiquarian, Hamilton assembled one of the world`s finest collections of Greek and Roman antiquities. The core of his collection was bought from the Porcinari family, after an introduction by Hugues d`Hancarville, an amateur art dealer. Hamilton added several more select pieces before realising the entire collection to the British Museum in 1772 for £8400, where it became one of main collections in the department of Greek and Roman antiquities. Before the collection was shipped to England, Hamilton arranged for Hugues d`Hancarville to oversee the cataloguing and drawing of every item. The published work appeared in 1766-1767 and is a superb example. In addition to his duties as ambassador, Hamilton was also renowned as a knowledgeable guide and congenial host to the visiting English `Grand Tourists`. With infectious enthusiasm he would extol the wonders of Naples and the beauties of arts of the ancient world, inspiring in many of his aristocratic visitors a genuine passion for the antique. This new-found enthusiasm, fuelled by the images in his engravings, found its way into the new style of neo-classicism and in the collections of antiquities which became a staple for many of the stately homes in England.
