List of artworks in the collection of the Royal Society of Chemistry : ウィキペディア英語版 | List of artworks in the collection of the Royal Society of Chemistry The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) owns a number of significant artworks in its venue at Burlington House in London. The collection is composed of busts, paintings and other artefacts that were mainly acquired between the mid-19th and early 21st Centuries (the Chemical Society was founded in 1841 and merged with others to become the RSC in 1980). Most of the acquisitions were donations from past members and staff, although a few were purchased directly by the Society. ==Humphry Davy bust==
Located along the corridor on the first floor of Burlington House, the bronze bust of Sir Humphry Davy was created by Ruby Levick and is a reproduction of an earlier sculpture by Miss Moore, donated to the Chemical Society by Rudolph Messell〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.theodora.com/encyclopedia/m2/rudolph_messel.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.oxforddnb.com/index/37/101037761/ )〕 in 1900. At the Annual General Meeting of the Chemical Society of March 29, Sir Thomas Edward Thorpe (President of the Society), reported on the gift of this work: Sir Humphry Davy is best remembered today for his discoveries of several alkali and alkaline earth metals, as well as contributions to the discoveries of the elemental nature of chlorine and iodine. Ruby Levick was a Welsh sculptor and medallist who had many of her works exhibited at the Royal Academy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://sculpture.gla.ac.uk/view/person.php?id=msib2_1203032618 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Decorative Sculptor: Miss Ruby Levick: (Mrs. Gervaise Bailey) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.oxforddnb.com/index/64/101064402/ )〕
