| Richard Robert Henry Hamilton Park was a member of the Yankee
Stonecutters, the early American School of sculpture that flourished
between 1800 and 1850.
Park exhibited at the National Academy
of Design* from 1862 to 1865 and at the Brooklyn Art Association in
1865 and 1870. To refine his skills, he travelled to Italy, living in
Florence from 1871 to 1890. Richard Park returned to the United States
receiving many successful commissions. He died in New York in 1902.

by the artist can be found in important private and public collections,
such as the 1885 Actor’s Monument to Edgar Allan Poe, at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art and a bust sculpture of Julia Floyd
Tallmadge Noyes at the Litchfield History Museum.
