Noble created a large body of work including portrait busts, statues and monuments. The deaths of two his sons, including Herbert (himself a promising sculptor, who was killed, aged 19, in the [[Abbots Ripton rail accident]]) are said to have contributed to Noble's own early death, aged 58, in June of the same year.<ref name=MapMN>{{cite web |author=University of Glasgow History of Art / HATII|url=https://sculpture.gla.ac.uk/view/person.php?id=msib5_1206459594&search=stone |title=Matthew Noble |year=2011|access-date= 2 April 2023|work=Mapping the Practice and Profession of Sculpture in Britain & Ireland 1851–1951}}</ref> He is buried in [[Brompton Cemetery]], London, on the west side of the main entrance path from the north, towards the central colonnade.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DljSAAAAMAAJ&dq=%22matthew+noble%22+Brompton+Cemetery+London&pg=PA282 |first= Henry |last=Benjamin Wheatley |authorlink=Henry B.

Matthew Noble (23 March 1817 – 23 June 1876) was a leading British portrait sculptor. Carver of numerous monumental figures and busts including work, memorializing Victorian era royalty and statesmen, displayed in locations such as Westminster Abbey, St Paul's Cathedral and Parliament Square, London.[1]

Life

[edit]

Noble was born in Hackness, near Scarborough, as the son of a stonemason, and served his apprenticeship under his father. He left Yorkshire for London when quite young, there he studied under John Francis (the father of sculptor Mary Thornycroft). Exhibiting regularly at the Royal Academy from 1845 until his death, Noble became recognised after winning the competition to construct the Wellington Monument in Manchester in 1856.

Noble created a large body of work including portrait busts, statues and monuments. The deaths of two his sons, including Herbert (himself a promising sculptor, who was killed, aged 19, in the Abbots Ripton rail accident) are said to have contributed to Noble's own early death, aged 58, in June of the same year.[2] He is buried in Brompton Cemetery, London, on the west side of the main entrance path from the north, towards the central colonnade.[3] His uncompleted works were finished by his assistant Joseph Edwards, who also discarded the studio's plaster models.[2]
