美国雕刻家丹尼尔.契斯特.法兰区 (Daniel Chester French) 出生
1850420

法兰区后来又到欧洲学习艺术,在他回到华盛顿特区之后,他开了自己的工作室。在那里,他创造了更多的作品,例如1888年为美国首都完成的「路易士.凯斯将军像」,就让人印象深刻。到了20世纪之初,法兰区成为美国最有名的大型雕像雕刻家。下一次你看到林肯纪念堂里的雕像,或者「义勇兵」的雕像,你就会知道谁是这些美国艺术品的作者了。跟你的家人分享这个新知识吧。


After studying art in Europe, French returned to Washington, D.C., where he opened his own studio. There, he created more ambitious work such as the impressive General Lewis Cass for the U.S. Capitol in 1888. By the turn of the 20th century, French was America's leading monumental sculptor. Next time you see the statue in the Lincoln Memorial or The Minute Man, you'll know who created those famous American artworks. Share your new knowledge with your family.
