Cyrus Dallin
Cyrus Edwin Dallin (American, 1861-1944) created more than 260 works, including well-known statues of Paul Revere and Native Americans. He also sculpted the statue of the Angel Moroni atop the Salt Lake City Temple, which has become a symbol for the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
At the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis, Missouri, Dallin competed in archery and won a bronze medal.
Dallin moved to Boston in 1900, where he became a colleague of famed artists Augustus St. Gaudens and John Singer Sargent. After moving to Massachusetts, he lived there for the rest of his life.
Dallin's best-known works include the Paul Revere statue in Boston and monumental casts of the well-known Appeal to the Great Spirit outside the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, in Muncie, Indiana, Tulsa, Oklahoma. Dallin was sympathetic to the plight of the American Indians, and portrayed them heroically in many of his sculptures. We are pleased to offer two fine examples of these bronze sculptures.
