  • It Is Now a Number of Years Since the Bowman Sculpture Gallery Has Held
    It is now a number of years since the Bowman Sculpture Gallery has held an exhibition solely focused on The New School of British Sculpture and it is a pleasure to see the Gallery again showing extensive examples of the leading artists involved. The New British School, also referred to as the New Sculpture, followed a period when the Neo Classicism of such sculptors as Canova, Thorvaldsen and Gibson was regarded as the acme of their art and they featured in many of the great Houses of the time. Towards the end of the 19th Century the expanding middle class, who had a growing interest in the Arts, created a demand for smaller and more domestic sculpture began. At the same time painters such as Lord Leighton, who sculpted Athlete Wrestling with a Python and The Sluggard, and George Frederick Watts, who produced the great monument Physical Energy, were bringing ‘colour’ into the subject by varied patination and their treatment of shape. This movement was undoubtedly fuelled by a reaction against what was seen to be the severity of the Neo Classicists but the principal initiators of this ‘New’, most attractive and impressive period of British Sculpture, were Jules Dalou who taught at The South Kensington School of Art, for eight years from 1871, his friend Édouard Lantéri, who taught at The National Art Training College (later renamed The Royal College of Art) and Alfred Stevens. The result was, as one critic has said, ‘a perfect synthesis of the spiritual and the sensual’. This approach to the subject was adopted by the ‘New’ sculptors.

So, it seems appropriate now to reflect more widely beyond the normal hori- zon of the Annual Report. Our founders in 1768 comprised some of the greatest figures of the British Enlightenment, King George III, Reynolds, West and Chambers, supported and advised by a wider circle of thinkers and intellectuals such as Edmund Burke and Samuel Johnson. It is no exaggeration to suggest that their original inten- tions for what the Academy should be are closer to realisation than ever before. They proposed a school, an exhibition and a membership.

  • Graves of Artists and Architects Buried There
    Graves of architects and artists in the Chiswick Churchyard and Old Burial Ground A noteworthy feature of the burial ground associated with St Nicholas, Chiswick, is the remarkable number of graves of artists and architects buried there. This article records the graves of an important eighteenth-century architect and garden designer, a respected bricklayer and site manager, two well-regarded Victorian sculptors, and no fewer than six painters and printmakers. In comparison, I know of only one literary figure who was buried there: the maverick Italian poet and patriot, Ugo Foscolo (1778–1827). But perhaps he does not count, since his bones were exhumed in 1871 and returned to Italy for re-burial in Sta Croce, Florence. The churchyard harbours the tomb of only one theatrical figure, Charles Holland (1733–1769), but – as far as I am aware – of not one single composer. Two possible reasons for this bias in favour of the visual arts may be connected with two leading figures in the British eighteenth-century art world who were associated with St Nicholas, Chiswick. Lord Burlington (1694–1753) and William Hogarth (1697–1764) were close contemporaries, although they seldom if ever saw eye to eye. Lord Burlington was the architect of his ground- breaking Chiswick Villa, and he was also a celebrated aesthete and connoisseur. During highly profitable visits to Italy in the second decade, he amassed an important collection of Italian Renaissance and Baroque paintings. Chiswick Villa was designed in part specifically to display this collection, which enhanced Burlington’s status in the British art scene. His semi-permanent residence at Chiswick in the last 20 or so years of his life, and the inheritance of his estate by the Dukes of Devonshire from 1764, perhaps attracted other artists to the area, seeking aristocratic and royal patronage.

  • Nathaniel Hitch and the Making of Church Sculpture Claire Jones
    Nathaniel Hitch and the Making of Church Sculpture Claire Jones Housed at the Henry Moore Institute in Leeds is the archive of the now little-known sculptor, architectural sculptor, and sculptor’s modeller, Nathaniel Hitch (1845–1938).1 Unlike the extensive manuscript, printed, and visual material in Hamo Thornycroft’s archive, also held at the Henry Moore Institute, Hitch’s consists of hundreds of photographs pasted into two albums. These demonstrate the range of sculptural activity undertaken by Hitch, including figurative work, architectural sculpture, and anima- lier sculpture. Above all, they represent sculpture intended for Christian places of worship: recumbent effigies; altars; free-standing figures of saints, bishops, and biblical figures; reliefs of biblical scenes; Christ on the cross; Christ in groups; the Virgin Mary and Child; and sculpture for church fur- niture and furnishings. Hitch’s archive therefore offers significant docu- mentation for the study of Victorian sculpture practice outside the more familiar areas of the Academy and ideal classical sculpture: namely, church sculpture. The photographs are taken within Hitch’s studio or workshop. The space itself is only fragmentarily visible, and the sculptor himself is noticea- bly absent from all the photographs. This is distinct to the ‘at home’ and ‘in studio’ photographs of society sculptors such as Thornycroft, which recent scholarship has usefully examined in terms of the private-public domain of the artist’s studio and the role of these studios and photographs in an I would like to thank Claire Mayoh, archivist at the Henry Moore Institute, her maternity cover Janette Martin, and Georgia Goldsmith at the Bulldog Trust for assisting me in my research and for kindly providing the images for this publication.

From the 1850s it began to be hard for private collectors to keep up with the displays available at international exhibitions. This was something that came about partly through the agency of Prince Albert, and after the closure of the Great Exhibition by far the largest collection of sculpture ever seen in this country was assembled at Sydenham by the Crystal Palace Company, admittedly consisting mostly of plaster casts.1 The burning down of the Sydenham Crystal Palace in 1936 and the dispersal of several important early Victorian sculpture collections have left Victoria and Albert’s collection of contemporary sculpture to enjoy unchallenged pre-eminence.

Certainly every person in the hotel had read it. It is true that some parts have a sickly flavour, perhaps only to us! I heard many remarks such as, “Oh! How interesting!” The rapture was general concerning your house. Such a house could scarcely have been imagined in London.1 Harry How’s “Illustrated Interview” with the Royal Academician Luke Fildes in his luxurious studio house in London’s Holland Park may have seemed a little “sickly” to Fildes and his brother-in-law Henry Woods, but such publicity was always welcome in an age when celebrity sold paintings. As Julie Codell demonstrates in The Victorian Artist: Artists’ Lifewritings in Britain ca. 1870–1910, late nineteenth-century art periodicals played an important role in building and maintaining the public’s interest in living artists.
