# Monument to Sir John Dutton [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [RYSBRACK, John Michael]() - Date: 1701-1750 - Technique: Marble ## Commentary The developing English school of sculpture received a fillip in the second and third quarters of the eighteenth century with several influential artists from abroad, some of whom came for a short time while others stayed virtually for life. Two two most outstanding of these were Michael Rysbrack and François Roubiliac \(1702-1762\). Rysbrack came to England in his mid-twenties in about 1720, and by the next decade established his position as a leading sculptor - especially for portrait busts and monuments for which he was well patronized. He worked in the international Franco-Italian style and produced works of more than ordinary quality. ## Related artworks - [Alexander Pope]() - [Bust of Rubens]() - [Edward Salter]() - [Equestrian Statue of King William III]() - [John Barnard]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
