	John Flaxman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Flaxman (July 6, 1755 - December 7, 1826), was an English sculptor and draughtsman.
		His father was also named John, after an ancestor who, according to family tradition, had fought for Parliament at the Battle of Naseby, and afterwards settled as a carrier or farmer in Buckinghamshire.
		In the competition for the gold medal of the Academy in 1772, Flaxman was defeated, the prize being adjudged by the president, Sir Joshua Reynolds, to a competitor named Engleheart.

		John Flaxman's 'Adoration of the Magi' rediscovered: one of the most prolific and admired sculptors of the neo-classical era, John Flaxman ran a large studio and rarely carved or even finished the works produced under his name.
		Flaxman was able to produce an enormous body of work by running a large workshop employing many assistants, several of whom became noted sculptors in their own right.
		Flaxman's habitual lack of concern with the finish of the final object probably goes back to his early association with the industrial potter Josiah Wedgwood, for whom he supplied wax models for conversion into decorative reliefs.

		John Flaxman and James Parker: Ulysses at the Table of Circe: Plate 16 of The Odyssey of Homer Engraved from the Compositions of John Flaxman R.A. Object Page
		John Flaxman, the finest British sculptor of the late eighteenth century, achieved international acclaim for his spare, outline illustrations to the works of Homer, Aeschylus, and Dante, which he prepared during seven years' residence in Rome (1787–94), where he also directed Wedgwood's ceramics studio.
		Flaxman's distinctive linear drawing style, with its bold rejection of Renaissance and Baroque methods of rendering perspective and volume, is now regarded as the epitome of the Neoclassical style.

	ARTH 345/574 - Nineteenth & Twentieth Century Drawing
		Flaxman is closely identified with the Neoclassical movement in late eighteenth-century art.
		Flaxman studied five years (1770-75) at the Royal Academy schools in London, training to be a sculptor.
		This type of allusion to the styles associated with other times and places is one of the most salient features of late-eighteenth-century art, and was one of the means by which artists sought to enrich the emotional appeal of their work.

		As a youth, Flaxman worked in his father's plaster-casting studio in London while studying Classical literature, which was to be a continual source of inspiration.
		The discipline of producing designs, usually based on antique models and executed in wax, which could be translated into the silhouette technique of Wedgwood's jasperware, strengthened Flaxman's innate feeling for line.
		Flaxman's chief strength lies in his sincerity and the remarkable fecundity of his designs, which include figures in the Classical manner and in contemporary dress.

		This reverse proved no discouragement, and indeed seemed to have helped cure Flaxman of a tendency to conceit which made Thomas Wedgwood say of him in 1775, “It is but a few years since he was a most supreme coxcomb.”
		With many excellent observations, and with one singular merit–that of doing justice, as in those days justice was hardly ever done, to the sculpture of the medieval schools–these lectures lack point and felicity of expression, just as they are reported to have lacked fire in delivery, and are somewhat heavy reading.
