Prince Hoare (elder)

This article is about the sculptor brother of William Hoare. For William's painter and playwight son, see Prince Hoare (younger).

Prince Hoare (ca. 1711 – 5 November 1769) was an English sculptor. "Prince" is a given name, not a royal title.

Possibly born near Eye, Suffolk, brother of William Hoare, he trained under Peter Scheemakers in London. He subsequently settled in Bath with his brother but spent much of the 1740s in Italy. He returned to Bath in 1749 and remained active as a sculptor, despite having married a wealthy heiress. He died in Bath.^[1]
