EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir Francis Chantrey: The Blind Sportsman's Famous Shot (1892) Sir Francis Chantrey, a renowned sculptor and art patron of the Georgian and Victorian eras, was known for his exceptional skills both in the art world and in the field. This photograph, taken in the late 1800s, immortalizes a remarkable moment in Chantrey's life as a skilled marksman. The image shows Sir Francis Chantrey, seemingly in his prime, holding a shotgun in one hand and a pair of woodcocks in the other. The expression on his face suggests a sense of pride and satisfaction, as if he had just accomplished a remarkable feat. The story behind this photograph is that the day before, Chantrey had allegedly killed a hare and a rabbit with a single shot each. Despite the legend of his remarkable shooting abilities, Chantrey was reportedly blind in one eye. This detail adds an intriguing layer to the story, making his accomplishments even more impressive. The photograph captures the essence of the 1890s, a time when the aristocracy enjoyed the sport of hunting as a pastime, and the art world was flourishing. Sir Francis Chantrey's sculptures are still admired today, and his legacy as a patron of the arts continues to inspire. This photograph, however, offers a unique glimpse into his life beyond the art world, showcasing his remarkable skills as a sportsman and a man of great determination.
