Thomas Campbell (sculptor)

He has several important public works, most notably a statue of Sarah Siddons in Westminster Abbey.

[1] He was born in Tolbooth parish, Edinburgh Old Town, now part of the Royal Mile.

He paid for Campbell to study at the Royal Academy Schools in London from 1818, and also permitted him to set up a studio in Rome, Italy in 1819, where a connection continued until 1830.

[4] In London he studied under Joseph Nollekens and assisted Edward Hodges Baily.

He was briefly assisted in Rome and London by his much younger and short-lived brother, James Campbell (1810–1833).
