Joseph Mozier

Joseph Mozier (August 22, 1812 – October 3, 1870) was an American sculptor active in Italy.

He retired from business around 1845, and shortly afterward went to Europe, studying sculpture for several years in Florence, after which he moved to Rome.

His best-known work is Undine, the title character in the novella by Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué, a water nymph who falls in love with a man.

He made a short visit to the United States in 1870, and was hospitalized upon his return in London, England.

He died in Faido, Switzerland, while en route to his home in Italy.
