Sculpture was a prominent feature of the Victorian era, and this three-year project will focus on the art in an attempt to provide a new perspective on artistic culture from the period.
In collaboration with Jason Edwards of the University of York and colleagues from the Yale Centre for British Art, researchers will work with regional museums in Britain to analyse their collections of Victorian sculpture and develop ways to make them more accessible to the public.
In addition, two PhD students will investigate the collection amassed by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, significant patrons of the period, and study the place of sculpture in the 19th century's international exhibitions.
Dr Edwards said: "In this period, the British Empire stretched around the globe, sculpture was being produced on a large scale and millions of people were viewing it, but the majority of the artists concerned have since faded into relative obscurity.
"We will be looking at the prevalence of sculpture in the Victorian era - from statues in parks and squares to decorative features on jewellery and cutlery - as we seek to understand its place in Britain's national and imperial history."
