The plaster model for this bust was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1811. Joseph Nollekens described it as ‘the best bust of all busts’ and moved one of his own pieces to give it greater prominence. Public acclaim followed, and Chantrey’s career as a sculptor was thus assured. At that time, however, neither Tooke nor Chantrey could afford to reproduce it in marble. The present bust was commissioned in 1818 by George Watson Taylor, MP, but on completion in 1819 it was never paid for, and thus remained in Chantrey’s possession until his death. It was inherited by his widow who presented it to the Museum in 1861, describing it ‘as one of my husband’s best works’. Chantrey’s bust is a sympathetic portrait of a man already suffering from his last illness. The informality of Tooke’s dress, and his natural unaffected gaze are reminiscent of portraits by Louis-François Roubiliac. John Horne studied law at Cambridge before becoming a priest, and receiving a curacy in Brentford. In 1782 he adopted the surname of his friend and mentor William Tooke. A radical reformer in politics, he founded the Constitutional Society, and favoured American independence. Having expressed support for the French Revolution in 1790, Tooke was arrested in 1794 for high treason but found not guilty. reference term-106498 adlib-term-106498 272179a1-524b-3f36-aab7-bf342ce484d6 19th Century, Early 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-15796 adlib-media-15796 04fa1fc9-9dc6-30a3-835c-e81537bef443 jpeg aa/aa19/M_1_1861.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 585 1702926528595 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/mid_M_1_1861.jpg 1 height pixels 650 width pixels 500 1702926528595 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/M_1_1861.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 585 1702926528595 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/preview_M_1_1861.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926528595 1 image 0 media image reference media-1417517547 portfolio portfolio-media-1417517547 3312cd2b-311b-3f89-ad50-b8c0d29f9877 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/689/46/large_M_1_1861_T_2096_mas_legacy.jpg 1 height pixels 1329 width pixels 1024 1579534900000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/689/46/mid_M_1_1861_T_2096_mas_legacy.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1579534900000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/689/46/M_1_1861_T_2096_mas_legacy.jpg 1 height pixels 2704 width pixels 2083 1579534900000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/689/46/preview_M_1_1861_T_2096_mas_legacy.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1579534900000 1 image 1 media image reference term-23035 adlib-term-23035 f9693b6b-2e4a-3666-acf8-973403f65fce bust history note Sir Francis Chantrey; Lady Chantrey reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum reference number literal name Sculpture UK Sculpture UK Publ.
