He displayed a talent for art and began studying the field in Washington, D.C. He focused his work on sculpture and traveled to Europe to further his studies.[2] Flannery also spent time living in New Orleans, St. Louis, and New York City, but spent most of his life in Washington.[3] He owned one of the largest stone carving businesses in Washington and specialized in carving tombstones.[1] Flannery knew President Abraham Lincoln and was at Ford's Theatre the night of the assassination.[3] Shortly after Lincoln's death, Washingtonians chose to erect a memorial honoring the slain president. Many designs were submitted to the monument planning committee, but Flannery's model was unanimously chosen. The committee called his design the "most spirited" and "an excellent likeness."[1] The memorial was dedicated on April 15, 1868, the third anniversary of Lincoln's death. Flannery's statue is the only statue of Lincoln created by someone who knew him.[3] In addition to the Lincoln sculpture, Flannery's notable works include the Arsenal Monument at Congressional Cemetery and a sculpture of President Chester Arthur on display at the Smithsonian American Art Museum.[4][5] Flannery sculpted a marble bust of General John A. Logan that was previously exhibited in the Capitol. A copy of that bust made by artist Franklin Simmons was used in producing the equestrian sculpture Major General John A. Logan.[3] Flannery never married and lived alone until his death at his residence on December 19, 1922.[2][3] References1. ^1 2 {{cite book | author=Jacob, Kathryn Allamong | title=Testament to Union: Civil War Monuments in Washington, D.C. | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=M6HIB4fNjGoC&lpg=PA184&ots=kueTz0ptQ-&dq=%22Lot%20Flannery%22%20Abraham%20Lincoln&pg=PA68#v=onepage&q=Flannery&f=false | location=Charlottesville | publisher=JHU Press | pages=68–71 | date=1998 | isbn=9780801858611 | accessdate=October 30, 2014 }} {{DEFAULTSORT:Flannery, Lot}}2. ^1 {{cite web | url=http://americanart.si.edu/collections/search/artist/?id=1578 | title=Lot Flannery | publisher=Smithsonian American Art Museum | accessdate=October 30, 2014 }} 3. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite news | date=December 19, 1922 |title=Lot Flannery, 86, Sculptor, is Dead |url=http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045462/1922-12-19/ed-1/seq-2/ |newspaper=The Evening Star |accessdate=October 30, 2014 }} 4. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.cem.va.gov/cems/lots/congressional.asp | title=Congressional Cemetery Government Lots | publisher=United States Department of Veterans Affairs | accessdate=October 30, 2014 }} 5. ^{{cite web | url=http://siris-artinventories.si.edu/ipac20/ipac.jsp?session=14146I97151C1.895&profile=ariall&source=~!siartinventories&view=subscriptionsummary&uri=full=3100001~!112562~!1&ri=6&aspect=Browse&menu=search&ipp=20&spp=20&staffonly=&term=Flannery,+Lot,+active+1850-1859,+sculptor.&index=AUTHOR&uindex=&aspect=Browse&menu=search&ri=6 | title=Chester Arthur, (sculpture). | publisher=Smithsonian American Art Museum | accessdate=October 30, 2014 }} 8 : 1836 births|1922 deaths|Artists from Washington, D.C.|Irish emigrants to the United States (before 1923)|People from Limerick (city)|20th-century American sculptors|19th-century American sculptors|American male sculptors |
