Abstract
John Hogan (1800-1858) was a sculptor who began his career by studying the collection of plaster casts of Vatican marbles in Cork. He moved to Rome in 1824 where he was deeply influenced by the neoclassical sculpture of Antonio Canova and Bertel Thorvaldsen. His period of greatest activity was the 1830s and 1840s. Nearly all his work was for Irish patrons and he returned regularly to Ireland for commissions. He carved ideal and religious subjects, memorials, portrait busts and figure monuments. His most important themes were drawn from Catholicism and Irish nationalism. He was deeply committed to the papacy and to the constitutional Irish nationalism of Daniel O’Connell. He lived and worked near the Corso in Rome and was well regarded by his peers. After the Roman revolution he returned to Ireland in 1849 where he died in 1858.
