# Thomas Thurlow (sculptor)

    You may be looking for Thomas Thurlow (bishop), an 18th-century Church of England bishop.
Thomas Thurlow (1813 – 1899) was a renowned English sculptor who created memorials in churches in the Saxmundham, Suffolk area, including a bust of the poet George Crabbe in St Peter and St Paul's Church, Aldeburgh. His father, John Thurlow (b. c1784), was a builder and stonemason who built 'The White House' (now Holly Lodge) in the High Street. Both are buried along with other members of the Thurlow family in the churchyard of the parish church.

## Life

Thomas Thurlow was born in North Entrance in Saxmundham and went to a school in Brook Cottage; Henry Bright (painter) went to the same school, and in Thurlow's memoirs he also claims Newson Garrett (who later built Snape Maltings) as a school friend. As a teenager he would turn his hand to anything such as wood and plaster carving, polishing stones, and he even made a violin, succeeding at the second attempt. At the age of 23 he left home for London where he was engaged by a monument manufacturer in Regent Street. During his spare time he took lessons in oil painting, something he pursued throughout his life (some of his paintings are in the Moot Hall, Aldeburgh). After a time employed with the London Marble Works, where he gained experience of stone carving, Thurlow returned to Suffolk first opening a business in Halesworth and then settling back in Saxmundham in 1839.
During his life, Thurlow completed many works for local people and various churches, including a memorial to Sir C. Blois from Cockfield Hall in Yoxford Church, a life-size statue of Samuel Clouting in Kelsale Church, a marble bust of Richard Garrett III in Leiston Church, and a commission from William Long of Hurts Hall to carve a rose and spray for the entrance to his mansion. As well as paid works, he exhibited widely including at the Royal Academy and the Ipswich Fine Art Club.
He was active in the town being appointed the Secretary and manager of the Saxmundham Gas Works (which was in Gas Hill now New Cut), he was an Overseer for the Parish making and collecting the Rates, he was the town Surveyor supervising the building of Gurneys bank in Market Place amongst others, and in 1847 he acquired the Licence for Photography for the County of Suffolk which he practised for a time. He is reported to have given penny readings in the Market Hall, reciting from Dickens to packed audiences.

# Vincent Gahagan

Vincent Gahagan (1776–1831) was a 19th-century sculptor of Irish descent from a large family of sculptors.

## Life

He was born in Westminster on 26 October 1776 the son of sculptor Lawrence Gahagan and his wife Phoebe Hunter. He had at least seven siblings most of whom (both male and female) were sculptors, including a younger brother Sebastian Gahagan.
He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1804 to 1833. In later life he worked as assistant to Richard Westmacott. He came to public (ar rather academic) recognition in 1811 when the Count of Funchal, Ambassador to Brazil, came to London to ask the Royal Academy to run a competition for an royal equestrian statue to stand in Rio de Janeiro. By 1813 this had come to a conclusion and Vincent Gahagan was placed joint first with Charles Rossi. However, the ambassador refused to pay the agreed 800 guineas prize money, saying neither artist was suitable. A legal argument followed for two years.
Very ironically he was killed on 28 December 1831 in his studio at Pimlico while working on a statue of George Canning which fell and crushed him. He was buried in January 1832.

## Works

He lastly married Maria Dupuis, daughter of Louis Lewis Dupuis, on 9 July 1807 at St George's Church on Hanover Square, London. Maria died at Regents Park in 1846.
By his various marriages he was father to at least seven children including Edwin Gahagan who was also a sculptor. Six children outlived Vincent.

According to some biographers, she was born in February 1785; but the date may have been two or three years earlier.

## Stage career

In September 1803 it was reported that Brunton had been engaged by Covent Garden Theatre for the season on £10 per week. Her brother, who appeared at Covent Garden 22 September 1800 as Brunton the younger, was with her during her entire time at the theatre. On 5 October 1803 Brunton made her first stage appearance, at Covent Garden, playing Lady Townley in The Provoked Husband to the Lord Townley of Kemble and Lady Grace of Mrs Siddons.

# Age of Ambition

Age of Ambition: Chasing Fortune, Truth, and Faith in the New China is a non-fiction book by Evan Osnos, a staff writer at The New Yorker. Age of Ambition chronicles the lives of people that Osnos came to know while he was in China from 2005 to 2013.
Age of Ambition was originally published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in 2014. The book was awarded the National Book Award for Nonfiction in 2014 and was a finalist for the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction.

## Summary

Based partly on Osnos' reports in The New Yorker, the book describes his travels in China, where he interviewed people swept up by economic, political, and social change. Osnos chronicles their journeys and reflects on the political implications. The title refers to an emerging sense of individual aspiration, "a belief in the sheer possibility to remake a life," Osnos writes. "Some who tried succeeded; many others did not." Some of the featured subjects are prominent, including artist Ai Weiwei and economist Justin Yifu Lin; others are not prominent citizens, including a teacher, a street sweeper, and an auctioneer imprisoned for bribing judges.

## Reception

In The New York Times Book Review, Jonathan Mirsky described it as "eloquent and comprehensive." In the San Francisco Chronicle, Minxin Pei called it "by far the most thoughtful and well-crafted work on China written by an American journalist in recent years.” The Economist, in an unsigned review, questioned the emphasis on Ai Weiwei and dissident lawyer Chen Guangcheng "whose well-documented lives and causes take up a little too much of the narrative."
