Parade Gardens
Bath, England
The Angel of Peace in Bath, England, features the colossal head of Jupiter, sculpted by local artist John Osborn in 1831. Weighing six tons and standing approximately 1 meter high, this striking piece captures the grandeur and majesty of the ancient Roman god, reflecting the idealized features reminiscent of classical Greek sculpture.
After Osborn's death in 1838, efforts were made to secure the bust for Royal Victoria Park, driven by a community subscription that aimed to provide aid for the sculptor's destitute family. The sculpture, recognized for its sublime expression and artistic merit, stands as a notable embellishment within the park, with a plinth designed by James Wilson in 1861 enhancing its prominence.
