Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Unveiling a shocking exposà , this book meticulously demonstrates how the Chantrey Bequest, established to promote British art, has been shamefully mismanaged for decades. The author provides a meticulous analysis of Sir Francis Chantrey's original intentions, contrasting them with the current practices of the Royal Academy, the institution responsible for administering the bequest. Through extensive research, this book proves that rather than supporting living British artists, as Chantrey intended, the Academy has squandered funds on their own members, leading to a disappointing collection that fails to represent the best of British art. The author calls for immediate action to rectify this injustice and ensure that Chantrey's vision is finally realized. This book stands as a powerful condemnation of institutional complacency and a passionate plea for preserving artistic integrity.
