GILBERT, See also:ALFRED (1854– ) , See also:British sculptor and See also:goldsmith, See also:born in See also:London, was the son of Alfred Gilbert, musician. He received his See also:education mainly in See also:Paris () See also:cole See also:des See also:Beaux-Arts, under Cavelier), and studied in See also:Rome and See also:Florence where the significance of the See also:Renaissance made a lasting impression upon him and his See also:art. He also worked in the studio of See also:Sir J. See also:Edgar See also:Boehm, R.A. His first See also:work of importance was the charming See also:group of the " See also:Mother and See also:Child," then " The See also:Kiss of Victory," followed by " See also:Perseus Arming " (1883), produced directly under the See also:influence of the Florentine masterpieces he had studied. Its success was See also:great, and See also:Lord See also:Leighton forthwith commissioned " Icarus," which was exhibited at the Royal See also:Academy in 1884, along with a remarkable " Study of a See also:Head," and was received with See also:general See also:applause. Then followed " The Enchanted See also:Chair," which, along with many other See also:works deemed by the artist incomplete or unworthy of his See also:powers, was ultimately broken by the sculptor's own See also:hand. The next See also:year Mr Gilbert was occupied with the See also:Shaftesbury Memorial See also:Fountain, in Piccadilly, London, a work of great originality and beauty, yet shorn of some of the intended effect through restrictions put upon the artist. In 1888 was produced the statue of H.M. See also:Queen See also:Victoria, set up at See also:Winchester, in its See also:main See also:design and in the details of its ornamentation the most remarkable work of its See also:kind produced in Great See also:Britain, and perhaps, it may be added, in any other See also:country in See also:modern times. Other statues of great beauty, at once novel in treatment and See also:fine in design, are those set up to Lord Reay in Bombay, and See also:John See also:Howard at See also:Bedford (1898), the highly See also:original See also:pedestal of which did much to See also:direct into a better channel what are See also:apt to be the eccentricities of what is called the "New Art" School. The sculptor See also:rose to the full height of his powers in his " Memorial to the See also:Duke of See also:Clarence," and his fast developing See also:fancy and See also:imagination, which are the main characteristics of all his work, are seen in his "Memorial See also:Candelabrum to Lord See also:Arthur See also:- RUSSELL (FAMILY)
