Sir Joseph Edgar Boehm (1834 - 1890) was active/lived in United Kingdom, Austria. Sir Joseph Edgar Boehm is known for Sculptor; Medalist. The Vienna-born sculptor and medalist Sir Joseph Edgar Boehm, 1st Baronet, gained international fame in the middle of the 19th century for his medals and sculptures, which were awarded the Imperial Prize and were awarded at the 1862 World Exhibition. In 1962 Boehm moved to London, where he made a name for himself primarily with the statue of the Duke of Wellington in Hyde Park Corner and the face of Queen Victoria he modeled on the commemorative coin on the occasion of her golden jubilee of the throne. The sculptures of Sir Joseph Edgar Boehm were very well received at the court of Queen Victoria, which is probably why one of her daughters, Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll, was allowed to take sculpture lessons with him, in whose presence the artist died in South Kensington in 1890. He also created the marble sculpture for the tomb of the here represented Princess Alice of Great Britain and Ireland, Grand Duchess of Hesse and near Rhine, another daughter of Queen Victoria. Sir Joseph Edgar Boehm is one of the most important sculptors of the Victorian era. Many of his works can still be found in public spaces in London and Balmoral in Scotland and are represented in the collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Royal Collection Trust, among others.
