专家说明

Thomas Woolner R.A (1825-1892)
Woolner's most famous commission is the bronze figure of Captain Cook for Hyde Park, Sydney (1879). He emigrated to Australia in 1852 in the pursuit of gold, but failed to secure both gold and a major commission for a statue of William Charles Wentworth in Sydney. He returned to London in 1854.
