Public Commissions
In addition to his wildlife subjects, Anthony also has a talent for sculpting the human figure. He is well known for his accurate portraits of great scientists and explorers. These have been commissioned by esteemed institutions such as the Linnean Society of London, the National Botanic Garden of Wales, and Cambridge’s Sedgwick Museum. Other notable highlights include designing and sculpting a new two-pound coin for general circulation in the United Kingdom, a statue of Alfred Russel Wallace for the Natural History Museum of London (unveiled by Sir David Attenborough), a statue of Charles Darwin for Cambridge University (unveiled by HRH Prince Philip) and a portrait bust of Sir Ernest Shackleton for the South Georgia Museum.
Wildlife Commissions
Anthony regularly undertakes commissions to create original wildlife bronze sculptures for private clients. Some of these are inspired by Anthony’s own experiences, or are commissioned to commemorate a memory or photograph that was taken by the client; as was the case with the Gentoo Penguin sculpture shown to the right. Anthony is always happy to discuss the exciting possibilities that exist for commissioning an original wildlife sculpture.
