John Francis (sculptor) : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Francis (sculptor) John Francis (3 September 1780 – 30 August 1861) was an English sculptor. ==Life== Francis was born in Lincolnshire, and was intended to go into farming. He settled in London, where he became a pupil of Samuel Joseph and Francis Leggatt Chantrey.〔(''Mapping the Profession'' page. )〕 He first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1820 a bust of Thomas William Coke, and another of Captain Sir W. Bolton, R.N. At this period his residence was at Thornham, Norfolk. In 1822, when he sent to the Academy a bust of Horatia Nelson, he was living at 2 New Norfolk Street, Park Lane. In 1844 he executed by command of Queen Victoria a marble bust of Albert, Prince Consort; this followed a commission a few years earlier for a bust of the Queen, which went to the hall of the Reform Club. About this period Francis moved to 56 Albany Street, Regent's Park. Francis died at his home in Albany Street, aged 80. His own pupils included Joseph Durham, Matthew Noble and Thomas Thornycroft, who married his daughter Mary.〔
