Joseph Nollekens

Joseph Nollekens was a Flemish-born British sculptor of the second half of the 18th and early 19th centuries. He is known as a Neoclassical sculptor and a master of portraiture and mythology. Nollekens was also a highly successful art dealer and skilled restorer.

At the height of his career, Joseph Nollekens became England's most sought-after sculptural portraitist and created numerous busts of dignitaries. An admirer of the sculptor's work was the British King George III. The Royal Academy of Arts granted the master the title of honorary member of this prestigious institution.

Nollekens' works nowadays decorate the halls of museums in England and Italy (where he became an artist) and are also in private collections.
