Recollections of Chantrey and British sculpture
A review of Sir Francis Chantrey's career, noting his shift from carving to creating lifelike portraits and maternal forms, with praise for his expressive depth. The piece reflects on his travel to Oxford and the influence of Italian revival, and contrasts English taste with Continental sculpture, including Canova and Thorvaldsen. It also covers a note on the British Museum gift of Lucas van Leyden prints by Henry James Brooke and related antiquarian observations.
