Description:
|
Detail: section of the column with University of Sheffield Arts Tower behind. Photographed after restoration as part of the general refurbishment of Weston Park (2006-2008).
Location: Weston Park, north of the entrance to the Art Gallery. Description: A stone base with 4 inset bronze panels, one with a half relief bust of Sykes by Hugh Gamble (1835-1911), one with the tools used by an artist, and two with descriptions detailing Sykes's life and work. One of these regrets the loss of Sykes to the city of Sheffield: " ... He was called to London in 1859 ... and died there in 1866." Above this is a striking, large white terracotta column. This is made of six sections; three are fluted with leaves, the other three are not as high and are filled with figures depicting youth, maturity and age. The column is surmounted with a corinthian capital capped by a bronze vase. Commission: Sheffield Town Council Comment: The monument was completed by 1871, but not sited until four years later.
