Founder of the Royal Geographical Society, Leake is acknowledged as one of the greatest authorities on the topography of Ancient Greece. He was commissioned in the Royal Artillery in 1794 and between 1798 and 1810 spent most of his time on missions to Ottoman Turkey and Greece. After 1815, he lived in England working on his notes, and publishing numerous papers and ten books, including the 'Topography of Athens' (1821) and 'Travels in Northern Greece' (1835). He presented his collection of classical marbles to the British Museum in 1839, the year before this bust was made. In 1864, four years after Leake’s death, the Fitzwilliam Museum purchased his collection of ancient coins, Greek vases, gems, and bronzes for £5,000. This was the Museum’s first major purchase and was hotly debated. Many objects from the Leake Collection are on view in the Greek and Roman Gallery, including a black-figure Amphora made in Athens, c.520-510 BCE, portraying a warrior’s departure. reference term-106851 adlib-term-106851 e155f998-1e0b-3f2a-851c-24f44d05dd59 19th Century, Mid reference term-107139 adlib-term-107139 9fd5ef13-3709-388f-b925-702787340e32 literal England England country England reference term-37963 adlib-term-37963 929f6c25-5677-3624-90d4-f6d882da98ec white marble reference media-205953 adlib-media-205953 795a7f92-5281-3693-bfc8-5dfcffdf86d2 jpeg aa/aa37/M_1_1865_201108_amt49_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 760 1702926567818 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/mid_M_1_1865_201108_amt49_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 674 width pixels 500 1702926567818 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/M_1_1865_201108_amt49_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 760 1702926567818 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/preview_M_1_1865_201108_amt49_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 337 width pixels 250 1702926567818 1 image 0 media image reference media-15797 adlib-media-15797 e689d36d-e6f5-3c5f-896d-2b09a6336b22 jpeg aa/aa20/M_1_1865.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 598 1702926746243 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/mid_M_1_1865.jpg 1 height pixels 635 width pixels 500 1702926746243 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/M_1_1865.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 598 1702926746243 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/preview_M_1_1865.jpg 1 height pixels 318 width pixels 250 1702926746243 1 image 1 media image reference media-455079784 portfolio portfolio-media-455079784 c9ae2c3f-535e-3a85-a1ce-f2078dc3a3aa jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/460/179/large_M_1_1865_201108_amt49_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1186 width pixels 1024 1529284064000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/460/179/mid_M_1_1865_201108_amt49_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 579 width pixels 500 1529284064000 1 image M.1-1865_201108_amt49_mas.tif 1529284064000 1 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/460/179/preview_M_1_1865_201108_amt49_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 290 width pixels 250 1529284064000 1 image 2 media image reference media-2641332283 portfolio portfolio-media-2641332283 e4513611-6dc5-3e4b-99b7-7b0bf7b9e971 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/626/838/large_M_1_1865_201108_amt49_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 1381 width pixels 1024 1550048735000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/626/838/mid_M_1_1865_201108_amt49_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 674 width pixels 500 1550048735000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/626/838/M_1_1865_201108_amt49_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 3880 width pixels 2877 1550048735000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/626/838/preview_M_1_1865_201108_amt49_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 337 width pixels 250 1550048735000 1 image 3 media image reference term-23035 adlib-term-23035 f9693b6b-2e4a-3666-acf8-973403f65fce bust reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum reference number literal name Sculpture UK Sculpture UK Publ. p. 110, no. 181 p. 110 reference publication-709 adlib-publication-709 b6198d7b-a068-312d-bee5-3a4f7c0b71a5 Catalogue of Cambridge Portraits I The University Collection subject reference term-1609 adlib-term-1609 84f2e5e2-0de4-3096-98b9-7bb4c12aaffd male literal male male
