About the Item

Ivor Roberts-Jones 1916-1996 British Sir Winston Churchill Artist Proof Bronze with a green patina One of the greatest leaders of the modern world, Winston Churchill is among the most recognizable figures in Western history. This larger-than-life green patina bronze bust by the English sculptor Ivor Roberts-Jones masterfully captures his famous visage, as well as his determined air and strong resilience. Most notably, this glorious bust is the coveted artist's proof of this sculpture. During the commissioning of significant statues, including this one, it was customary for the artist to produce a proof which is typically the finest of all the casts. Renowned for his resolute and unwavering guidance, Churchill's extraordinary legacy is commemorated by a monumental sculpture that captures Churchill from head to toe erected in 1971 at the heart of Parliament Square in London. The renowned British artist, Ivor Roberts-Jones, a graduate of the esteemed Royal Academy of Arts, meticulously crafted this awe-inspiring masterpiece. Upon receiving the initial commission for this grand commission, Roberts-Jones eagerly unveiled his first interpretation of the sculpture to Lady Clementine Churchill. However, upon witnessing her husband portrayed in a suit and tie, Lady Clementine expressed her belief that the esteemed statesman should be remembered foremost as a wartime leader, insisting that the statue should embody this enduring legacy. Consequently, Roberts-Jones created the statue that currently stands in Parliament Square, the second most widely observed sculpture in the United Kingdom, surpassed only by General Nelson's column in Trafalgar Square. This larger-than-life artwork, in its exact monumental scale, serves as the original representation of the esteemed leader. Only 1,500 smaller versions of this exceptional piece were cast, exclusively made available to members of the Churchill Society. Because of their importance, these smaller versions almost never come to market. This remarkably rare artist's proof is not only a symbol of Ivor Roberts-Jones’ greatest artistic achievement but also the lasting legacy of this great British icon. Marked: "IRJ. AP/1" Bust: 33 7/8" high by 48 1/2" wide by 35 1/4" deep
