John Mossman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Mossman (1817-1890) was one of a number of English sculptors who dominated the production and teaching of sculpture in Glasgow for 50 years after his arrival with his father and brothers from his native London in 1828. The family was originally Scottish, being related to James Mossman - a prominent jeweller and supporter of Mary, Queen of Scots who was beheaded after the Long Siege of Edinburgh Castle in 1572.
John Mossman's is the distinctive hand in Glasgow's public statues of the latter half of the 19th century, and a number of works for the Glasgow Necropolis.
