OBITUARY.
JOEL T. HART.

Tho death Of Joel T. Hart the sculptor, Ia an
nounced this morning from Florence Italy. Ho
born in Clark county, Kentucky, In 1870 His
tion restricted to quarters schooling, but he
a great reader He manifested prediction for
art at early age, preferring sculpture and poetry
above all else. In 1880 he entered stonecutter's
shop In Lexington and began to model busts in
clay, making good lIkenesscs of many prominent men
OF the day among others General Jackson and Casius
NJ Clay. The latter gave him his first commission tor
bust In marble The work gavc much satisfaction
that the artist commissioned by the "Ladies Clay
Association OF Virginia TO execute marble statue Of
Henry Clay which now stands IN the Capitol square
Richmond. He won't 10 Florence in 1S40 execute
this ordcr but the work delayed consequence OF
the loss OF his model by shipwreck and by other
cumsances, and 1t was not until 1859 that tho statue
was landed IN the United States. Mr. Hart alterward
made the colossal bronze statue OF Henry Clay which
stands In Canal street, New Orleans, and which
every who has been In tho Crescent City will
remember. He has resided IN Florence since 1S49,
during which time he has executed many busts OF
eminent men and several ideal works. Among others
OF the latter class may be mentioned "Angcna" and
'I Penserosa' His Kentucky relatives reside at
Lexington The Clay statue, which adorns the Louis
willie Court House. is of Harris best productions
His last effort ''rhc Triumph of Chastity" has been
subjected to great deal OF comment In this country
and In Europe. Some OF his poetry was avorably
ceved and circulated principally in American news
papers.
