 Statues were used by garden designers to bring a focal point to the layout and to divert the eye. At [[Belmont (Philadelphia)|Belmont]], statues were placed in the center of the [[labyrinth]], according to [[Hannah Callender Sansom]]. Statues often were placed on the [[lawn]] in front of the main façade of the house, as they were at [[The Woodlands]], creating visual and physical ties between the ornamental style of the house and the garden scenery, as advised by British writer Thomas Whately (1770). Likewise, at Iranistan, in Bridgeport, Connecticut, statues on pedestals flanked the flower [[bed]]s located near the grand entrance staircase [Fig. 7]. In other cases, statues were placed along the terrace, where they helped to articulate the divide between house and ornamented landscape. Charles Lyell in 1846 related this use of statues at country houses in Natchez, Mississippi. At Point Breeze, ancient statues overlooked the terrace and distant landscape [Fig. 8].

 In [[public garden]]s, statues played a significant role in thematic spectacles, such as fireworks and transparent paintings, which were intended to lure customers. Statues of political and military heroes, together with those of figures from Greek mythology, as well as copies of renowned statues, such as the Medici Apollo, also decorated commercial gardens.

 Accounts of statues in the 18th century, such as those by Ezra Stiles (1754) and Daniel Fisher (1755) written with respect to the garden of Bush Hill, near Philadelphia, suggest that they ranged widely in quality. <span id="Stiles_cite"></span>Stiles, on the one hand, claimed that the statues were exceptional—“in fine Italian marble curiously wrot” ([[#Stiles|view text]]); <span id="Fisher_cite"></span>while Fisher, on the other, stated that the statues were merely ordinary ([[#Fisher|view text]]). Visitors’ garden descriptions indicate that statuary was often perceived to be worthy of mention, particularly when it was made of fine materials or when it illustrated significant themes. <span id="Fithian_cite"></span>Philip Vickers Fithian, when extolling in 1774 the virtues of Mount Airy in Virginia, noted “four large beautiful Marble Statues” ([[#Fithian|view text]]). <span id="Drayton_cite"></span>Charles Drayton, recounting in 1806 the “beauties of landscape” at [[The Woodlands]], near Philadelphia, noted a “fine statue” that was included in portraits of the house ([[#Drayton|view text]]). <span id="Callender_cite"></span>[[Hannah Callender Sansom]], writing in 1762, called attention to the statues of mythological subjects at Judge [[William Peters|William Peters's]] estate, [[Belmont (Philadelphia)|Belmont]], near Philadelphia ([[#Callender|view text]]). Classical themes for garden statuary frequently were recommended throughout the 18th and 19th centuries by treatise writers such as John James, Batty Langley, William Marshall, and [[G._(George)_Gregory|G. Gregory]].

 <span id="Peale_cite"></span>[[Charles Willson Peale]] cut figures out of wooden board to resemble “statues in sculpture,” for his garden at [[Belfield]] (c. 1825) ([[#Peale|view text]]). Elias Hasket Derby commissioned a group of four wooden “figures” from woodcarvers John Skillin and Simeon Skillin Jr. On September 25, 1793, the Skillin brothers presented Derby with a bill for “free standing figures of larger dimensions, ranging between 4 and 5 feet in height,” at a cost of approximately £7.10 each and .15 for priming. These statues were pastoral in theme and included a shepherdess, a gardener, and the figure of Plenty [Fig. 1]. The Skillins’s garden statuary resembled, both in handling and form, little figures on furniture, such as secretaries and chests, which were also carved by the brothers.<ref>Craven 1984, 14–15, [https://www.zotero.org/groups/54737/items/itemKey/TE9HRXTM view on Zotero].</ref>
