BALL, THOMAS (1819- )

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 263 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAI-BAR
BALL, THOMAS (1819- ) , American sculptor, was born at
Charlestown
 , Massachusetts, on the 3rd of June 1819. He was the son of a
house
 -and-sign-painter, and after starting, self-taught, as a portrait painter he turned his attention in 1851 to sculpture, his earliest
work
  being a bust of Jenny Lind. At thirty-five he went to Florence for study; there, with an interval of
work
  in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1857-1865, he remained for more than thirty years, being one of the artistic colony which included the Brownings and Hiram Powers. He returned to America in 1897, and lived in Montclair, New
Jersey
 , with a studio in New
York
  City. His work includes many early cabinet busts of musicians (he was an accomplished musician himself, and was the first in America to sing " Elijah "), and later the equestrian statue of Washington in the Boston public gardens, probably his best work; Josiah Quincy in City
Hall
  Square, Boston; Charles Sumner in the public gardens of Boston; Daniel
Webster
  in Central Park, New
York
  City; the Lincoln Emancipation group at Washington; Edwin Forrest as " Coriolanus," in the Actors' Home, Philadelphia, and the Washington monument in Methuen, Massachusetts. His work has had a marked influence on monumental art in the United States and especially in New England. In 1891 he published an auto-biographical volume, My Three Score Years and Ten.
