Summary
| Description |
English: This is the The Barber Institute of Fine Arts building on the University of Birmingham main campus.
The statue of George I was commissioned by the city of Dublin in 1717. This was to display loyalty to the crown in the face of unrest from Catholic supporters of James Stuart, the 'Young Pretender' (son of the exiled James II) who had inspired a unsuccessful revolt against George I two years earlier. - note I think my book means the 'Old Pretender' - the 'Young Pretender' was his son Bonnie Prince Charlie. (back to book info) The Statue was by the Dutch sculpter John van Nost the Elder, although it was probably finished by his assistants after his death. It was unveiled in Dublin in 1722. It was brought by Thomas Bodkin, first director of the Barber Institute in 1937, and brought to its present location.
It is a Grade II listed statue.
