English sculptor and donor of the Chantrey Bequest.

Chantrey was born on April 7th, 1781, at Norton near Sheffield.

He recieved lessons in carving and painting before he went to try his fortune in Dublin and Edinburgh before moving to London in 1802 where he worked as a wood carver.

In 1805, he recieved his first commission for a sculpture from Sheffield and he achieved fame six years later when his bust of Horne Took was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1811.

Chantrey was elected an associate of the Royal Academy in 1815 and Royal Academician in 1818. He was knighted in 1835.

He died suddenly on November 25th, 1841.

THE CHANTREY BEQUEST
Under the terms of Chantrey's will, his fortune was left to his widow and, after her death, to the the Royal Academy. The income from the bequest was to be spent to purchase the most valuable works in sculpture and painting by any artist residing in Britian at the time of the execution of the work.


EXAMPLES OF CHANTREY'S WORK

Chantrey's monument of the Robinson children at Lichfield Cathedral is his best known monument although his figure of Lady Frederica Stanhope at Chevening in Kent is considered his best work. He also produced a large number of busts of which the finest is that of Sir Walter Scott at Abbotsford.
