Thornycroft, a member of the Royal Academy, sculpted some of London’s best-known statues. He was one of the Academy's youngest members, and the leading figure of the New Sculpture movement, which provided a transition between 19th-century Neoclassicism and its later fin-de-siècle and modernist departures.
