BROWN, HENRY KIRKE (1814-1886)

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 659 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BRI-BUN
BROWN, HENRY KIRKE (1814-1886) , American sculptor, was born in Leyden, Massachusetts, on the 24th of February 1814. He began to paint portraits while quite a boy, studied painting in Boston under Chester Harding, learned a little about modelling, and in 18361839 spent his summers working as a railroad engineer to earn enough to enable him to study further. He spent four years (18421846) in Italy; but returning to New
York
  he remained distinctively American, and was never dominated, as were so many of the early American sculptors, by Italian influence. He died on the roth of July 1886 at New-
burgh
 , New
York
 . His equestrian statues are excellent, notably that of General Winfield Scott (1874) in Washington, D.C., and one of George Washington (1856) in Union Square, New York City, which was the second equestrian statue made in the United States, following by three years that of Andrew Jackson in Washington by Clark Mills (18151883). Brown was one of the first in America to cast his own bronzes. Among his other works are: Abraham Lincoln (Union Square, New York City); Nathanael
Greene
 , George Clinton, Philip Kearny, and Richard Stockton (all in the National Statuary
Hall
 , Capitol, Washington, D.C.); De Witt Clinton and " The
Angel
  of the Resurrection," both in Greenwood cemetery, New York City; and an " Aboriginal Hunter."
His nephew and pupil, Henry Kirke
Bush
 -Brown (b. 1857), also became prominent among American sculptors, his " Buffalo Hunt," equestrian statues of Generals Meade and Reynolds at Gettysburg, and " Justinian " in the New York appellate court-house, being his
chief
  works.
