John Henry Foley

John Henry Foley (1818-1874) was an eminent Irish sculptor, born in Dublin. His first success was achieved in a series of classical figures, including some Shakespearian subjects. Statues of Hampden, Burke, J. S. Mill, Goldsmith, &c., brought him further fame, and he was commissioned by the Queen to execute the figure of Prince Albert in the Albert Memorial. His vigour and genius were further revealed in the noble equestrian statues of Hardinge and Outram.
