Richard Westmacott
Sir Richard Westmacott (15 July 1775 – 1 September 1856) was a British sculptor.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Royal Academy of Arts )〕
==Life and career==
Westmacott studied with his father, also named Richard Westmacott, at his studio in Mount Street, Grosvenor Square in London before going to Rome in 1793 to study under Antonio Canova. On returning to England in 1797, he set up a studio, where John Edward Carew and Musgrave Watson gained experience.
Westmacott had his own foundry at Pimlico, in London, where he cast both his own works, and those of other sculptors, including John Flaxman's statue of Sir John Moore (1810–18) for Glasgow. Late in life he was asked by the Office of Works for advice on the casting of the reliefs for Nelson’s Column.〔 He also had an arrangement with the Trustees of the British Museum, which allowed him to make moulds and supply plaster casts of classical sculpture in the museum's collection to country house owners, academies and other institutions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= )〕
He exhibited at the Royal Academy between 1797 and 1839. His name is given in the catalogues as "R. Westmacott, Junr." until 1807, when the "Junr." was dropped. He was elected an associate of the Royal Academy in 1805, and a full academician in 1811;〔 his diploma work, a marble relief of ''Jupiter and Ganymede'', is still in the academy's collection.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jupiter and Ganymede, 1811 )〕 He was professor of sculpture at the academy from 1827 until his death.〔 He received his knighthood on 19 July 1837.
