Located in Royal Victoria Park, Bath, the colossal head of Jupiter, sculpted by John Osborn in 1831, stands as a testament to classical artistry and the resilience of the human spirit. Weighing six tons and measuring approximately one meter in height, this remarkable bust is an achievement in sculpture that echoes the grandeur of ancient Greek representations of the god of sky and thunder.

Originally commissioned to support the family of the late sculptor, the head's installation in the park was made possible through community subscription efforts. The bust's design is complemented by a carefully crafted pedestal, showcasing the commitment of local citizens to preserve and celebrate cultural heritage in Bath.
