Peter Scheemakers (16 January 1691 – 12 September 1781) was a Flemish Roman Catholic sculptor who worked for most of his life in London, Great Britain. Scheemakers is perhaps best known for executing the William Kent-designed sculpture of William Shakespeare which was erected in Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey, London, in 1740, as well as that to John Dryden in the same church.
Famous quotes containing the word peter:
“It is a necessary condition of one’s ascribing states of consciousness, experiences, to oneself, in the way one does, that one should also ascribe them, or be prepared to ascribe them, to others who are not oneself.... The ascribing phrases are used in just the same sense when the subject is another as when the subject is oneself.”
—Sir Peter Frederick Strawson (b. 1919)
