ALFRED STEVENS Master of Design 1817–1875
by Teresa Sladen
ALFRED S TEVENS has not – before now – been the subject of a significant study. This new book considers in detail all stages of his fascinating career and the breadth of his creativity. Considered a prodigy as a child, Stevens was sent to Italy to study art. Deeply impressed by the way painting, sculpture and architecture were harmoniously combined in the Renaissance, he followed this lead and applied it to all types of design, for everyday objects such as fire grates as well as grand schemes like the Wellington Monument. In so doing he pioneered the more inclusive and integrated approach to art that emerged towards the end of the nineteenth century.
TERESA SLADEN has served as a Director of The Victorian Society and The Mausolea and Monuments Trust and was a founder member of the latter.
