John Cheere

John Cheere (1709–1787) was an English sculptor, born in London. Brother of the sculptor Sir Henry Cheere, he was originally apprenticed as a haberdasher from 1725 to 1732.
==Life==
Among his works were a gilt equestrian statue of William III in St James's Square, London, made in 1739, and a gilded lead statue of George II for Saint Helier, Jersey, in 1751. His most lasting legacy, however, is probably his lead statues for gardens. This kind of sculptures were popular for the summer houses of the 18th century’s aristocracy.〔("John Cheere at Marble Hill" ), Charles Avery, ''The Burlington Magazine'', Vol. 116, No. 858 (Sep., 1974), pp. 551-553〕 Some were reproductions of classical Roman or Greek sculptures, but there was also a demand for statues depicting simple, pastoral themes.〔(John Cheere (1709-1787) ), Moira Fulton, La Societe Jersiaise, 2013. Retrieved 29 November 2013. (Archived here. )〕
In 1756, the Portuguese minister in London placed an order with Cheere for 98 lead sculptures for the royal palace of Queluz.〔(The John Cheere Sculptures At Queluz National Palace, Portugal ), World Monuments Fund Britain, 2013. Retrieved 30 November 2013. (Archived here. )〕
He also created several mythological statues for the gardens at Stourhead, in 1751 and 1766, and a life-size lead figure of William Shakespeare for the jubilee celebrations in Stratford-on-Avon in 1769, on the commission of the actor David Garrick. Cheere died in London in 1787.
Several of the sculptures from Queluz had not been on public view since 1967, and have been restored by Rupert Harris Conservation, in London, and returned to Portugal in May 2009.〔''Público Newspaper'' 25 05 09〕 This restoration was in part made possible by the World Monuments Fund Britain.〔(The John Cheere Sculptures At Queluz National Palace, Portugal ), World Monuments Fund Britain, 2013. Retrieved 29 November 2013. (Archived here. )〕
The Medici lions at Stowe House have been attributed to Cheere.〔(The Stowe Lions by John Cheere ), World Monuments Fund Britain, 2013. Retrieved 29 November 2013. (Archived here. )〕
