"Under The Spreading Chestnut Tree" is a notable sculpture created by the Scottish artist William Grant Stevenson in the late 19th century. Stevenson, born in 1849, was a prominent sculptor known for his public monuments and intricate works that often depicted historical and allegorical themes. This particular sculpture is celebrated for its evocative representation and intricate craftsmanship, which exemplify Stevenson's skill and artistic vision.

The sculpture draws its inspiration from the famous line in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem "The Village Blacksmith," which begins with "Under a spreading chestnut-tree / The village smithy stands." This literary reference imbues the work with a sense of nostalgia and cultural resonance, connecting it to the broader tradition of Romantic literature and art. Stevenson's interpretation of this line captures the idyllic and pastoral imagery that Longfellow's poem evokes, creating a visual homage to the simplicity and industriousness of rural life.

Crafted from bronze, the sculpture features a detailed and lifelike depiction of a blacksmith at work, surrounded by the natural elements of the chestnut tree. The attention to detail in the blacksmith's muscular form, the textures of the tree bark, and the tools of the trade highlight Stevenson's dedication to realism and his ability to convey a narrative through sculpture. The work is not only a testament to Stevenson's technical prowess but also to his ability to infuse his sculptures with a sense of life and movement.

"Under The Spreading Chestnut Tree" has been displayed in various public and private collections, earning recognition for its artistic and cultural significance. It stands as a testament to William Grant Stevenson's contribution to the field of sculpture and his ability to draw inspiration from literary sources to create enduring works of art.
