PETER (1691–1770) , Flemish sculptor, was See also:born in See also:Antwerp, and learnt his See also:art from his See also:father and from Delvaux. After visiting See also:Denmark and walking thence to See also:Rome for purposes of study, he returned on See also:foot to the See also:port of embareation for See also:England, but stayed in See also:London but a See also:short while. From 1728 to 1735 he again sojourned in Rome and then settled in England, where he remained from 1735 to 1770, returning in the latter See also:year to his native See also:city where he died a few months afterwards. He worked for a See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

pupil of Grinling See also:Gibbons. Fifteen of his See also:works—monuments, figures and busts—are in See also:Westminster See also:Abbey, two executed in collaboration with his See also:master Delvaux: the " See also:Hugh Chamberlen " (d. 1728, and therefore perhaps produced during his first visit to London) and " See also:Catherine, duchess of See also:Buckinghamshire." He is best, though not most creditably, known to fame by his See also:monument to See also:Shakespeare (1740), but as this See also:work was designed by See also:Kent the blame for the errors of See also:taste therein displayed must not be laid to Scheemakers' See also:account. In addition to these may be mentioned the monuments to See also:Admiral See also:Sir See also:Charles See also:Wager, See also:Vice-Admiral See also:Watson, Lieut.-See also:General See also:Percy See also:Kirk, See also:George See also:Lord See also:Viscount See also:Howe, General Monck, and Sir See also:- HENRY

Henry Belasye. His busts of See also:John See also:Dryden (1720) and Dr See also:Richard See also:Mead (1754), also in the Abbey, are among the best of his smaller works. The most important of his monuments elsewhere, as mentioned by See also:Walpole, are those to the 1st and 2nd See also:dukes of Ancaster at Edenham, See also:Lincolnshire; Lord See also:Chancellor See also:Hardwicke at Wimpole, See also:Cambridgeshire; the See also:duke of Kent, his wives and daughters, at Fletton, See also:Bedfordshire; the See also:earl of Shelburne, at See also:Wycombe, Bucks; and the figure on the See also:sarcophagus to Montague Sherrard See also:Drake, at See also:Amersham. Although less esteemed as an artist than Rysbrack and See also:Roubiliac, Scheemakers was a very popular and widely-employed sculptor in his See also:day, whose See also:influence was considerable; he was the master of Nollekens, and See also:left a son, See also:- THOMAS
