Summary[edit]

Description
Britain Loves Wikipedia at the Victoria and Albert Museum
Plaque from 'The Temple of Apollo'
English: Plaque from 'The Temple of Apollo'

The plaque forms one of the components of a musical clock planned by Charles Clay. Clay\'s musical clocks show the close working relationship between sculptors and goldsmiths in mid 18th century London. The relief is by Micheal Rysbrack, one of the finest sculptors in Britain at that period; here it is cast in gilded bronze but another version was made in silver.

Clay died in 1740 leaving the clock unfinished, but the parts were exhibited by his widow in their London home.

London about 1740
Relief with Apollo with Time and Orpheus: Micheal Rysbrack (1694-1770); gilded bronze painting of the Nine Muses: Jacopo Amigoni (1685-1752; oil on copper

Acquired with the Hugh Phillips Bequest and support from Alan Rubin and the American Friends of the V&A through the generosity of the Cahn Family Foundation.
