TQ 2882 NW REGENT'S PARK
1900/25/10125 Mighty Hunter Statue, Queen
Mary's Gardens
II
Ornamental sculpture on a pedestal situated to the west of the lake head. Signed and dated Albert H Hodge 1913. Portland stone rectangular pedestal. Cast bronze statue of a putto, nude apart from a belt with drapery and sandles with enriched leggings, struggling to hold above his shoulder a naturalistically modelled duck which is fighting to fly away with its beak wide open. History: The sculpture is believed to have been conunissioned by the painter Sigismund Goetze (1866-1939) for his home and forms a pair with The Lost Bow (qv). It is known to have been presented to Queen Mary's Gardens in 1939 following their redesigning (which included a theatre and cafe) by Duncan Campbell, Superintendent of Regent's Park for the Ministry of Works. Goetze, who lived at Nuffield Lodge, commissioned and presented a number of features to Queen Mary's Gardens (qv), a practice his wife continued in other London parks after his death through her Constance Fund. Albert Hodge (1875-1918) began training in Glasgow as an architect but became a specialist in architectural sculpture, working for many important architects on prestigious commissions including the Victoria and Albert Museum, Glamorgan County Hall, Cardiff and reliefs on the Robert Burns monument in Stirling.
