1801年第七代埃尔金伯爵托马斯·布鲁斯从当时统治者希腊的奥斯曼帝国高门那里获得许可[3],将这些浮雕陆续从希腊运往英国。当时英国舆论对此有所争议,而反对者中,诗人拜伦就直斥此举形同抢劫[4][5][6][7]。英国议会在一番争辩之后[8],决定不追诉埃尔金的行为,而埃尔金则在1816年将这些石雕卖给了英国政府,最后藏于大英博物馆[9]。
1832年希腊独立之后,希腊政府开始追索这些失去的石雕[10][11],多次要求英国政府物归原主。2014年联合国教科文组织从中协调,但最终大英博物馆方面仍然拒绝归还埃尔金石雕。[12][13][14]
收购
1798年11月,埃尔金侯爵获封英王遣土耳其苏丹大使(Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of His Britannic Majesty to the Sublime Porte of Selim III, Sultan of Turkey),临走前他询问英国政府是否有意雇佣一些艺术家临摹帕特农神庙的雕塑,但收到了令人沮丧的回复。[15]
于是他自己出资雇佣了乔凡尼·巴蒂斯塔·鲁西埃里在内的一批艺术家[15]。虽然一开始他只是想临摹一些神庙里的雕塑作品,但随即发现神庙的保护状况相当糟糕,很多大理石雕被当地人拿走烧成了石灰以建造其他建筑[15]。于是1801年埃尔金决定将帕特农神庙的雕塑搬回英国。[16]
1812年整个搬迁项目完工,总共花去了他7万英镑[17]。他本想用它们来装饰自己在邓弗姆林的家,但由于和妻子离婚引发个人经济危机,所以不得不把这些石雕卖掉还债[18]。他以不足7万镑的价格将其卖给大英博物馆,拒绝了出价更高的拿破仑等人。[16]
