The statue of Lord Rodney, erected by the Legislature of Jamaica was executed by Bacon for 1.000 Guineas, within its pedistal contained 4 Boss relivo's. Bacon, Flaxman & Banks are the best English sculptors, Hedouin, I believe the best parisian, Canova, not only the best Italian but I believe the first European artist.
