John Gibson RA (1790 - 1866)
RA Collection: People and Organisations
Known by his contemporaries as “Gibson of Rome”, John Gibson was a hugely successful Victorian sculptor who spent the majority of his life in Italy.
John Gibson was born near Conwy, North Wales, but moved with his family to Liverpool aged nine. As a teenager he was apprenticed to a cabinet-maker, then a stonemason, but remained determined to pursue a career as a sculptor. In 1816 he had two works exhibited in the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition and the following year local patrons funded his travel to Rome, setting him up with an introduction to the Europe’s most famous sculptor Antonio Canova.
Studying under Canova, Gibson’s talent quickly developed and he completed his first marble sculpture, Sleeping Shepherd Boy, in 1824. He had intended to stay for only two years, but found himself captivated by the city and soon set up his own studio. Gibson continued to send works back to Britain for exhibitions, cultivating an international reputation as a neoclassical sculptor.
In 1833 Gibson was made an Associate of the Royal Academy, despite not meeting the criterion of being resident in Britain. On his election as a full Royal Academician three years later, he submitted a statue of Narcissus as his Diploma Work. Like many of Gibson’s sculptures, the subject is one from classical mythology but the figure was initially inspired by a scene Gibson observed in Rome. While out walking on the Pincian Hill, the artist caught sight of a boy looking at his reflection in water, reminding him of the story of Narcissus.
After 27 years in Rome, Gibson visited Britain in 1844. He was introduced to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and enjoyed their patronage for the rest of his life. Gibson produced several portraits of Queen Victoria, including a bust and a full-length statue. He also made a marble relief of Cupid and Psyche that the Queen gave to her husband as a Christmas present.
In the 1850s, Gibson began experimenting with polychrome, or coloured, sculpture as his research indicated that many Ancient Greek statues were originally painted. His Tinted Venus caused a sensation at the 1862 Great Exhibition, provoking fierce debate about the use of colour in sculpture. Gibson himself was devoted to the work and resisted handing it over to its buyer for four years after the purchase was made.
On his death in 1866, Gibson bequeathed the contents of his studio, a large selection of his works and a large sum of money to the Royal Academy. His plaster cast of Phaeton Driving the Chariot of the Sun from the bequest can currently be seen in Richard Deacon Selects on the Sackler Landing. Other sculptures by Gibson can be seen at various locations across the country including Tate Britain, Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament and Chatsworth House.
