Title A name given to the resource Bust of Emerson Subject The topic of the resource Ralph Waldo Emerson Description An account of the resource Concord sculptor Daniel Chester French (1850-1931) was born in 1850 in Exeter, New Hampshire. His father was Henry Flagg French, a lawyer, judge, and, later, Assistant Secretary of the United States Treasury. The Frenches moved to Cambridge when Dan was six, then to Concord in the 1860s, to a house on Sudbury Road (now 342). French’s artistic talent was first noticed by his stepmother, who was impressed by the little figures he carved out of turnips and pieces of wood. Artist May Alcott (Louisa May’s youngest sister) took an active interest in helping him develop his skills. She gave him her modeling clay and tools, and advice on how to use them. French learned quickly. He studied with William Morris Hunt and William Rimmer in Boston and worked in the New York studio of John Quincy Adams Ward. His earliest subjects were his family and friends, who sat for portrait busts. Concord’s award to French of the commission for the Minute Man statue established him as a public artist. When the Minute Man was unveiled at the 1875 centennial celebration of the Concord Fight, French was in Florence. On his return in 1876, he set up a studio in Washington, resettled in Concord in 1878, and in 1879 built a studio next to his family’s home on Sudbury Road. This bust of Emerson was created early in French’s career. Because Emerson was a French family friend and had encouraged Dan in his work, there was a warm personal connection between the sculptor and his subject. French began work on the bust in March of 1879. He went daily to Bush, where Emerson sat for him, and had the piece done by the end of April. The bust was first modeled in clay. Plaster casts were made from the clay model and, later, two marble carvings. One of the first plaster casts from the master mold was presented to Emerson on July 26, 1879. Emerson is reported to have commented on seeing it, “Dan, that’s the face I shave.” Within a few years, French had a marble version of the bust carved in Italy. This first marble carving was given to Harvard in 1883 by the Higginson family. In 1884, a second marble carving, slightly different from the first, was presented to the Concord Free Public Library by one hundred and thirty-five contributors, including French himself. By 1886, bronze copies of the Emerson bust were available for sale. The piece was one of French’s dependable money-makers. Later, French described how difficult it had been to see beyond the failings of the elderly Emerson—he was seventy-six when he sat for the piece—and to capture the personality and the intellect of the man. He referred to Emerson’s “almost child-like mobility that admitted of an infinite variety of expression, and made possible that wonderful ‘lighting-up’ of the face, so often spoken of by those who knew him. It was the attempt to catch that glorifying expression that made me despair of my bust. At the time I made it … Mr. Emerson had failed somewhat, and it was only now and then that I could see, even for an instant, the expression that I sought.” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Daniel Chester French Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Gift of 135 contributors Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Concord Free Public Library Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1883-4 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource All materials courtesy of the William Munroe Special Collections at the Concord Free Public Library Art Collection Concord Free Public Library Emerson French Sculpture https://www.sc.concordlibrary.org/files/original/2c7f00fc65c353cb1aec74bda38af976.jpeg 4f55d33f3db80733cbbf3af56e3c4b74 https://www.sc.concordlibrary.org/files/original/516be7d6d9763b4c0b763474bc208f99.jpeg 83b85d7a98976b3c40b10da8f127896f https://www.sc.concordlibrary.org/files/original/c01da57d8e4d6f8e04d1a4e627026579.jpeg 6ee1d749225539de8aec35d2b5b1fed8 https://www.sc.concordlibrary.org/files/original/8ac299707b9431b60318638aeecf1b4e.jpeg 5b6e2dd075c7640fea1f22dcf20a23f8 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource French's seated Emerson statue Subject The topic of the resource Ralph Waldo Emerson Description An account of the resource In contrast with the more intimate bust sculpted in 1879, Daniel Chester French’s impressive marble statue of Emerson seated is a clear example of the artist’s public work. Bearing more than a little resemblance to his seated Lincoln in the Lincoln Memorial at Washington, D.C. (unveiled in 1922), the seated Emerson was designed to be viewed from a distance. It depicts Emerson as the personification of the idealistic philosopher, thoughtful, serene, benevolent. While French’s earlier bust was sculpted from life, the seated Emerson was carved long after the death of its subject. The statue presents a middle-aged Emerson, at the height of his powers, sitting in a chair, wearing his favorite dressing gown. The folds of fabric over the back of the chair are beautifully worked. There are pine branches on the side of the base—symbolic in Emerson’s writings of the majesty and mystery of nature. The seated Emerson was commissioned by a Concord committee appointed at town meeting in 1896 to erect a memorial statue to Emerson at some suitable public place in town. The committee was not authorized to spend any town money—all funds had to be raised through private donation. The fund-raising proceeded slowly. French didn’t really start work on the piece until after 1910. The statue was ceremonially unveiled on May 23, 1914, and has dominated what is now the Concord Free Public Library lobby ever since. Originally placed where the entrance to the circulation area is currently located, the seated Emerson was moved to its present position as a consequence of library expansion and renovation in the 1960s.
