About the Item
JOSEPH GOTT R.A. (LEEDS 1786 - ROME 1860)
A GREYHOUND BITCH WITH HER PUPPY, SIGNED J. Gott Ft.
Statuary marble.
Writing in his Guide to the Studios in Rome, published in the year of Gott's death, F. S. Bonfigli noted: 'In his Atelier is to be seen a very curious collection of fancy groups of dogs, of all races, in playful attitudes." Gott had been apprenticed to John Flaxman before entering the Royal Academy Schools in 1805, where he gained a silver medal. In 1822 Gott was sent to Rome on a pension from Sir Thomas Lawrence, who described him in a letter of introduction to Antonio Canova as possessing "blameless Integrity
Worth". The following year Gott was commissioned by William Cavendish, 6th Duke of Devonshire to produce a marble of A Greyhound with her two Puppies for the celebrated sculpture gallery he was forming at Chatsworth. Much enamoured of the finished sculpture, the 'Bachelor Duke’ observed in his Handbook to Chatsworth of 1844 that Gott is 'the Landseer of marble.’ This group remains in the Sculpture Gallery at Chatsworth.
Unlike his contemporaries, John Gibson and Richard Wyatt, who specialised in neo-classical subjects of high moral principal, Gott preferred the naturalistic depiction of animals and children. The former were not without antique precedent; Gott was clearly influenced by the second century Roman portraits of greyhounds that had been discovered at Monte Cagnolo, in the 1770s by Gavin Hamilton. One of these sculptures, depicting two greyhounds, was installed along with other similar Roman marbles in the Sala degli Animali in the Museo Pio Clementino.

John de Vaere Statuary Marble Busts
Located in London, GB
A fine pair of George III statuary marble busts of a boy and a girl by John de Vaere (1755 – 1830), 1798.
Signed J DE-VAERE Sculpr. 1798.
Considering what a sensitive and accomplished sculptor he was, surprisingly little is known about John de Vaere. Born in France in 1755, he settled in England some time before 1786 when he enrolled as a student at the Royal Academy Schools. In 1787 he left to study in Rome, with the financial assistance of Josiah Wedgwood. In Rome he won a Silver Medal for Sculpture from the Pope and became an assistant to John Flaxman.
On his return to England in 1790, he worked as a modeler for Wedgwood until the latter’s death in 1795, after which he worked with Eleanor Coade, probably replacing John Bacon...
