Johan Peter Molin

Johan Peter Molin (born 17 March 1814 in Gothenburg; died 29 July 1873 in Ekudden near Vaxholm) was a Swedish sculptor.

In 1843, Molin travelled to Copenhagen to study with Herman Wilhelm Bissen.

From 1853 he taught at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts and two years later he was appointed professor in sculpting.

Copies of this work exist in Gothenburg, in Stockholm and in other Swedish cities.

His statue of Karl XII was unveiled in 1868 in Kungsträdgården in Stockholm, where also the Molin fountain is located.
