Stand and Stare

Stand and Stare is a dedicated project documenting significant sculptures across the United Kingdom, including the notable Colossal Head of Jupiter in Royal Victoria Park, Bath. This impressive work, sculpted by John Osborn in 1831, stands 1 meter high and weighs 6 tons, showcasing idealized features reminiscent of classical Greek artistry.

The initiative not only preserves the artistic heritage of these monumental works but also highlights the historical context surrounding them, such as the personal struggles faced by the artist's family after his death. Through detailed photographs and descriptions, Stand and Stare aims to celebrate and share these cultural treasures with a wider audience.
