Guildhall Reliefs is dedicated to the preservation and presentation of notable sculptures, including the remarkable Colossal Head of Jupiter, created by the late English sculptor John Osborn in 1831. This impressive bust, weighing six tons and crafted from Bath stone, is celebrated for its idealized features and sublime expression, reminiscent of classical Greek artistry.
Originally commissioned to support Osborn's destitute family after his passing, the sculpture was installed in Royal Victoria Park, Bath, following a successful public subscription campaign. The bust continues to serve as an important cultural and historical landmark within the region, highlighting the efforts of the local community to honor artistic contributions and assist the artist's family.
