Gustav Holst Statue

The statue of Jupiter, sculpted by John Osborn in 1831, is a monumental bust located in Royal Victoria Park, Bath, England. Weighing six tons and standing approximately one meter high, this remarkable work of art exemplifies the ideal features and sublime expression associated with classical Greek sculpture.

After the artist's passing in 1838, community efforts led to the acquisition of the bust to support his destitute family. A new plinth was later designed in 1861, ensuring this significant piece of public art remained a proud centerpiece in the park.
