The commission for the lions of Nelson's Column
The government commissions Landseer to make four lions for the base of Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square, after a set in stone by Thomas Milnes was rejected. He accepts on condition that he need not start work for another nine months.

“The Shrew Tamed” causes controversy
“The Shrew Tamed” is entered at the Royal Academy exhibition: a powerful horse on its knees in straw and a young woman with her head pillowed on its flank; the catalogue explains it as a portrait of the noted equestrienne Ann Gilbert applying the taming techniques of the “horse whisperer” John Solomon Rarey. Critics, troubled by a languorous woman dominating a powerful animal, concluded that Landseer was alluding to the famous courtesan Catherine Walters.
