Joseph Bentley Leyland (1811—1851) was a sculptor from Halifax, England. His brother was Francis A Leyland, the Halifax antiquarian and publisher, who designed the seal for Halifax Corporation and the Coat of Arms of Halifax. Joseph was a good friend of Branwell Brontë. Like him, his talent was largely unfulfilled. He was often in debt and died an alcoholic three years after Branwell. 〔 du Maurier, Daphne (2012) ''The Infernal World Of Branwell Bronte''. Hachette UK. 〕 Leyland introduced Bronte to an active artistic social group in Halifax. This included William Dearden, George Hogarth, John Nicholson, and John Wilson Anderson. ==Well-known works== * Memorial to Stephen Beckwith in York Minster〔http://www.churchmonumentssociety.org/Yorks_York_E_Riding.html〕 * African blood-hounds: a large group which Edwin Landseer described as "the noblest modern work of its kind", which was presented to Salford Museum after the sculptor's death and subsequently destroyed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joseph Bentley Leyland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
