 SCULPTURES BY JOHN CHEERE (1709-1787)
An English sculptor working in London, he was
particularly well-known for his lead statues, which
were very popular in the 18th century. The group
of sculptures at Queluz comprises the largest collection
of the artist's work outside of England. They were
chosen by King Pedro and commissioned in 1755
and 1756 by the Marquis of Pombal. Between 2003
and 2009 this exceptional collection was conserved
and restored by the World Monuments Fund
