美國雕刻家丹尼爾‧契斯特‧法蘭區 (Daniel Chester French) 出生
1850420

法蘭區後來又到歐洲學習藝術,在他回到華盛頓特區之後,他開了自己的工作室。在那裡,他創造了更多的作品,例如1888年為美國首都完成的「路易士‧凱斯將軍像」,就讓人印象深刻。到了20世紀之初,法蘭區成為美國最有名的大型雕像雕刻家。下一次你看到林肯紀念堂裡的雕像,或者「義勇兵」的雕像,你就會知道誰是這些美國藝術品的作者了。跟你的家人分享這個新知識吧。


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.
