About the Item

A patinated bronze sculpture modelled after the William Blake Memorial by the acclaimed British sculptor, John W. Mills. Its abstract nature and heavy bronze casting showcases the sculptor’s crafting process as pieces transform from initial concept to the completed relief cast profile. Mounted on a stepped teak base, this sculptural piece is freestanding, making it perfect for decorative display in an interior. Signed and dated 2017 to the back. We also have a plaster maquette available. Price includes Artist’s Resale Rights (ARR) at 4%. William Blake Memorial A larger than life size bronze bust of the historic poet, painter and engraver, William Blake was unveiled in the poet’s corner of Westminster Abbey in 1957. Sculptor Sir Jacob Epstein fixed his masterpiece to a pillar and inscribed ‘William Blake 1757-1827’ to a plaque attached. Dating to 2017, this bust by John W Mills is a take on the iconic memorial and an ode to the influential work of William Blake, while highlighting Epstein’s fine craftsmanship. John W. Mills (1933-2023) John Mills was a highly acclaimed English sculptor, celebrated across the globe for his contemporary statues, bronze figures and artistic maquettes. Mills showcased a flair for sculpture from a young age, first exhibiting at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1951 and then hosting his first one-man show at the AIA Gallery, London in 1959. Throughout his distinguished career, Mills went on to receive several prizes and accolades and many notable commissions. Some of his most famous works include the monumental memorial to The Woman of World War II in Whitehall, London and the National Firefighters Memorial near St. Paul’s Cathedral, London. Following the sculptor’s passing in 2023, the contents of John W. Mill’s creative studio at his family home in Hinxworth Place, Hertfordshire were dispersed. These sculptures formed part of this curated collection, offering a rare chance to obtain original works made by the artist, including sculptural pieces for garden, interior and exhibition.
