In the stunning, new interior of the Ashmolean Museum, a wall
extending three levels high' illuminates' the works of one of
Britain's major sculptors, Francis Chantrey (1781-1841). This book
explores the pieces that comprise the Chantrey Wall and the
remarkable career of an artist whose sculptures were noted for
their naturalism and simplicity of style (the sculptor has been
compared to Michelangelo). Chantrey sculptor produced statues of
such luminaries as George Washington (housed in the Boston state
house), of kings George III and IV, of William Pitt the Younger, of
the Duke of Wellington, of Lord Melville and many others, including
sculptures of children, perhaps his most beloved. This publication
charts the progress of his art from workshop to Victorian national
treasure. Chantrey's was the first monographic collection of
British sculpture to become a part of a permanent museum collection
in the Ashmolean. The author, who also curated the Chantrey Wall,
conducted a three-year research project on Chantrey's works.
