Many ancient statues on display in Renaissance Rome did not become crowd favorites, but were yet prominent enough to be recorded by artists in drawings and engravings. Sometimes this documentation can still be matched to actually surviving marbles. In other cases the original statue may have disappeared or may have been altered past recognition. An anonymous portfolio at the British Museum contains nearly fifty of these documentary images, apparently created all by the same hand in the 1540s.
