EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a maquette for the figure of Courage on the Gladstone Memorial, located on The Strand in London. Created by renowned sculptor William Hamo Thornycroft around 1905, this plasticine model stands at an impressive 23x7.5x9.2 cm. The maquette portrays a headless figure standing atop a sturdy base, exuding strength and determination. Its intricate details highlight Thornycroft's exceptional talent as he captures the essence of courage through his artistry. The Gladstone Memorial is known for its grandeur and historical significance, honoring British statesman William Ewart Gladstone. This particular sculpture represents one of the virtues that defined Gladstone's character - courage. Displayed against a plain backdrop, this photograph allows us to focus solely on the beauty and craftsmanship of Thornycroft's creation. The statuette appears poised to leap off its plinth with unwavering bravery. Leeds Museums and Galleries proudly house this remarkable piece within their collection at Leeds Art Gallery in the United Kingdom. As we admire this maquette from over a century ago, we are reminded of the enduring power of art to capture human qualities such as courage that transcend time. Bridgeman Images has skillfully preserved this image for all to appreciate, ensuring that future generations can continue to be inspired by Thornycroft's masterpiece.
