title: Thomas Stoddart Bust

description: Thomas Stoddart (b.1928 - d.1905) was an identity in Ballarat, best known for having floated more gold mining companies than any other local. Being associated with some of the largest and most successful Victorian mines made him a wealthy man, and contributed to making Ballarat a prosperous city. The City of Ballarat memorialised Stoddart in marble in recognition of his generous donation of 12 statues to the Ballarat Botanical Gardens in 1884. This bust was commissioned after Stoddart's death in 1905, and was completed by the talented local sculptor FW Commons. It remains in its original position on the first floor landing at Ballarat Town Hall.

title: Narcisse - Goddess Artemis And The Fish

description: Narcisse made by Gabriel Grupello (1644 - 1730), marble. Royal Park (Brussels, Belgium). Made with CapturingReality.

Grupello was born as the son of Bernardo Rupelli, an Italian cavalry captain in Spanish service, and his Flemish wife Cornelia Delinck. He returned to Flanders in 1671 and two years later he became a master of the Brussels Guild. He opened a workshop in Brussels, which became very successful and employed many assistants. Grupello was a versatile artist in terms of the subject range of his sculptures as well as the materials in which he worked. He executed works in marble, ivory and wood and was rare among his contemporary Flemish Baroque sculptors in that he also made bronze statues.
