Sir George James Frampton was a British sculptor and leading figure in the New Sculpture movement, known for combining disparate materials such as marble and bronze within single works infused with Art Nouveau and Symbolist sensibility. His prolific practice encompassed public monuments, royal commemorations, and war memorials, including the Edith Cavell Memorial in London and the Peter Pan statue in Kensington Gardens. While his early work embraced stylistic experimentation, his later pieces adopted a more restrained, traditional formal vocabulary.
