Alick Horsnell (1882–1916) was an architect, draughtsmen and artist working in London during the early years of the 20th Century. ==Life== Alick Horsnell trained as an architect in the office of Frederick Chancellor FRIBA in Chelmsford. In 1899 he designed a house for Charles Baskett, then assistant master at Chelmsford School of Art, in Maldon Road, Colchester. It is distinctive design in the manner of Voysey, with white walls, green slate roof, and a canopy over the front door on curly iron brackets, and is one of Horsnell's few surviving buildings〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=155 Maldon Road (north-west side) )〕 Whilst working in Chelmsford he won a travelling studentship from the Architectural Association. He visited France and Italy and the sketches from these visits were well regarded. Many of them were displayed at the RIBA in the summer of 1915 and published in the ''Building News and Engineering Journal'' in 1915 and 1916. He won both the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Tite Prize in 1906 (for Italianate Designs) and the Soane Medallion in 1910.〔''The Building News and Engineering Journal'' 110 July 1916〕 The Soane medallion was awarded by the RIBA for his 1910 design of a Shakespeare Memorial Theatre. Moving to London he worked at 2 South Square, Gray's Inn alongside Charles Gascoyne, George Nott, and Robert Atkinson.〔(Robert Atkinson ), Dictionary of Scottish Architects.〕 During these pre-war years, he worked as an assistant to Ernest Newton and drew perspectives for notable houses in Cheltenham (Greenway, Shurdington) and Lingfield (Ardenrun Place).〔(RIBA )〕 One of his last great perspectives was the pencil and watercolour of County Hall, London. This perspective bought to life the designs of Ralph Knott. Horsnell's artistic skills were also seen in his etchings, engravings and watercolours. A member of the Royal Society of Painter Etchers, two of his etchings, Rue de Barres, Paris and The Green, Bosham were exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1910〔Royal Academy of Arts Exhibition 1910 Catalogue〕 () and one of his watercolours, The Borghese Gardens, was exhibited in 1911.〔The 143rd Exhibition of the Royal Academy of Arts London〕 ().〔The Art and Architecture of English Gardens: Designs for the Garden from the Collection of the R. I. B. A. 1609 to the Present Day by Jane Brown. ISBN 0-8478-1089-5〕 . Images of many of his works can be found at (www.alickhorsnell.com ) He commenced private practice in April 1914. He came second in the competition to design the Board of Trade Building in Whitehall, a brief won by E. Vincent Harris. His drawings were selected for the scheme to build a town hall for Middleton near Manchester but this scheme was postponed due to the outbreak of war. At the outbreak of war he served with the 28th London Regiment before being commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the 7th Suffolk Regiment. He died in on 1 July 1916 on the first day of the battle of the Somme; his name is recorded on the Thiepval Memorial.〔http://www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_details.aspx?casualty=793474〕 Writing in the Essex County Chronicle and Essex Weekly News on 4 August 1916 Arthur Bartlett FRCA said he was
In 1922, collections of his work were given to a number of museums, including the Victoria and Albert Museum, the British Museum and the RIBA British Architectural Library Drawings and Archives Collection by his sister.〔The Year's Art 1923 pg 31〕 Further works are held at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alick Horsnell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
