Frederick Thrupp (1812–1895) was an English sculptor. ==Life== The youngest son of Joseph Thrupp of Paddington Green, London, by Mary Pillow (d. 1845), his second wife, was born on 20 June 1812. Joseph Thrupp from 1774 ran a coach factory in George Street, Grosvenor Square. By his first wife, Mary Burgon, Joseph was father of Dorothea Ann Thrupp the hymn-writer, and of John Augustus Thrupp (1785–1814), the father of John Thrupp the historian; also of Charles Joseph Thrupp, the father of Admiral Arthur Thomas Thrupp. Frederick Thrupp went to the Rev. William Greenlaw's school at Blackheath, where he remained till about 1828. He then joined the academy of Henry Sass in Bloomsbury, where he was a contemporary of John Callcott Horsley, a close friend. In 1829 he won a silver medal from the Society of Arts for a chalk drawing from a bust, and he was admitted to the antique school of the Royal Academy on 15 June 1830.〔 On 15 February 1837 Thrupp started for Rome, accompanied by James Uwins, nephew of Thomas Uwins, and arrived there on 17 March. While at Rome he had the support of John Gibson, who admired his ''Ferdinand'', modelled soon after his arrival in 1837, and found several private commissions for him. Gibson induced him to abandon a taste for caricature. Thrupp also made the acquaintance of Bertel Thorvaldsen, and formed friendships among the English colony of artists at Rome.〔Including William Theed, Richard James Wyatt, Joseph Severn, Penry Williams, Edward Lear, and others.〕 He finally returned to London in October 1842, when he took a house at No. 232 Marylebone Road (then called the New Road), where he built a large gallery and studio. He let most of the house and lived himself at 15 Paddington Green (the house where he was born) till, on his mother's death in 1845, his two unmarried sisters joined him in the Marylebone Road. Here he lived for forty years.〔 Thrupp spent the winter of 1885–6 in Algiers, the following winter at Sanremo, and he visited the Pyrenees in the spring. In 1887 he left the Marylebone Road and bought a house at Torquay. In 1889 he visited Antwerp, Brussels, and Cologne.〔 Failing eyesight, followed by paralysis agitans in 1893, compelled Thrupp to abandon active work. He died at Thurlow, Torquay, of influenza and pneumonia, on 21 March 1895, and was buried on 26 March in Torquay cemetery.〔 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「Frederick Thrupp」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
