Thomas Thornycroft, and of the Royal See also:Academy See also:schools, he was still a student when he was called upon to assist his father in carrying out the important See also:fountain in See also:Park See also:Lane, See also:London. He accordingly returned in 1871 to See also:England from See also:Italy, where he was studying, and modelled the figures of See also:Shakespeare, Fame and Clio, which were rendered in See also:marble and in See also:bronze. In the following See also:year he exhibited at the Royal Academy " See also:Professor Sharpley," in marble, for the memorial in University See also:College; and " Mrs See also:Mordant," a See also:relief—a See also:form of See also:art to which he has since devoted much See also:attention. The " Fame," already mentioned, was shown in 1873. Believing that the pendulum had overshot its See also:swing from conventional classicality towards pictorial See also:realism, he turned from the " fleshy " school towards the See also:Greek, while realizing the See also:artistic See also:necessity for See also:modern feeling. In 1875 his " See also:Warrior Bearing a Wounded Youth from the See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf. Ger.

Then followed the dramatic " See also:Lot's Wife," in marble (1878), and " See also:Artemis " (188o), which for See also:- GRACE (Fr. grace, Lat. gratia, from grates, beloved, pleasing; formed from the root cra-, Gr. xav-, cf. xaipw, x6p,ua, Xapts)

grace, elegance and purity of See also:taste the sculptor never surpassed. He was thereupon elected an See also:associate of the Royal Academy, and more than justified the selection by his "Teucer" of the following year, a bronze figure of extraordinary distinction which, bought for the See also:Chantrey collection, is now in the See also:National (See also:Tate) See also:Gallery of British Art. It is See also:simple and severe, classic yet See also:instinct with See also:life and See also:noble in form; and in it he touched the high-See also:water See also:mark of his career. Turning to the ideal, in See also:works entirely modern in See also:motive and treatment, Hamo Thorny-See also:croft produced " The Mower " (1884) and " A Sower " (1886) the " See also:Stanley Memorial " in the old See also:- CHURCH

TH6RODDSEN, J6N See also:pOR 6ARSON (1819-1868), Icelandic poet and novelist, was See also:born in 1819 at Reykholar in western See also:Iceland. He studied See also:law at the university of See also:Copenhagen, entered the Danish See also:army as volunteer in 1848 in the war against the insurgents of See also:Schleswig and See also:Holstein, who were aided by See also:Prussia and the other See also:German States. He went back to Iceland in 185o, became See also:sheriff (syslumabur) of BarBastrandarsysla, and later in Borgarfjar8arsysla, where he died in 1868. He is the first novel writer of Iceland. See also:Jonas Hallgrfmsson had led the way by his See also:short stories, but the earliest veritable Icelandic novel was Jon Thoroddsen's Piltur og stulka (" Lad and Lass "), a charming picture of Icelandic See also:country life. Still better is Maur og kona (" See also:Man and Wife "), published after his See also:death by the Icelandic See also:Literary Society. He had a See also:great fund of delicate See also:humour, and his novels are so essentially Icelandic in their character, and so true in their descriptions, that he is justly considered by most of his countrymen not only as the father of the Icelandic novel, but as the best novelist Iceland has produced. His poems, mostly satirical, are deservedly popular; he follows Jonas See also:Hallgrimsson closely in his See also:style,
although he cannot reach him in lyrical See also:genius. (S.
