King Bladud and the Pig in Bath is a historic site that celebrates the rich cultural heritage of Bath, England. Notably, it features the colossal bust of Jupiter, sculpted by John Osborn in 1831, which stands as a testament to classical artistry and the dedication of the local community to preserve it.
The bust, carved from Bath stone and weighing six tons, was installed in Royal Victoria Park after a significant fundraising effort to support Osborn's widow and family. This impressive artwork not only enhances the park's aesthetic value but also serves as a poignant reminder of the artist's struggle and the community's commitment to art and history.
