List of public art in Kensington Gardens
rdfs:comment
This is a list of public art in Kensington Gardens, one of the Royal Parks of London. When the contemporary sculptor Anish Kapoor held an exhibition of his work in the gardens in 2010 he remarked that they are "the best site in London for a piece of art, probably [the best] in the world".

dbp:notes
A husbandman, flanked on either side by figures representing livestock farming and cereal production, looks up to a female personification of Agriculture. Unveiled by Prince Albert in Trafalgar Square in 1858. After pressure from anti-vaccinationists the statue was moved in 1862 to the Italian Gardens at Kensington, which were conceived by Albert and laid out by Pennethorne. The rest of the sculpture in the ensemble is by John Thomas. A female personification of manufactures, accompanied by a blacksmith, looks down on two child labourers, one a factory girl and the other a young potter, representing art manufactures. The presiding genius of engineering directs three workers: an engineer with plan in hand, a mechanical engineer with a cogwheel, and a navvy. The two bridges over the Menai Strait are represented at the back of the group. Unveiled in secret on May Day 1912. The character's creator, J. M. Barrie, commissioned the sculpture and chose the site, which is Peter's landing point in the book Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens. Questions were raised in Parliament about the propriety of an author promoting his work in this way. Europa, seated on a bull, carries an orb and sceptre signifying her continent's imperial dominance in the nineteenth century. Around her sit Britannia with a trident, France with a sword and laurel wreath, Germany with an open book and Italy with a lyre and palette. Presented by Moore to the nation for installation in Kensington Gardens in 1980, two years after his 80th birthday exhibition in the nearby Serpentine Gallery. Dismantled in 1996 due to structural instability; re-erected in 2012. In niches on a level with the spandrels are Armstead's Rhetoric and Medicine and Philip's Philosophy and Physiology. Below them, standing on column shafts, are Philip's Geometry and Geology and Armstead's Astronomy and Chemistry. Personifications of the seven virtues along with an eighth, Humanity. Redfern's plaster models were electroformed in copper by Francis Skidmore's ironworking firm in Coventry. The resulting figures were gilded after being mounted on the memorial. 0001-07-01 Inscribed: "" The spring's name also appears as "St Gover's Well". It was thought to have medicinal properties. 2.524608E9 The personification of America rides a bison charging forward, guided by the sceptre of the United States, identified by her starry sash. The other figures represent Canada, Mexico and South America. A small bronze figure of a terrier on a platform rising from the centre of a shallow circular pool. A figure in Egyptian costume, representing the continent, rests on a camel. Beside her are an Arabian merchant, a figure sometimes identified as a Nubian, a female European and a tribesman. Portrays 169 individual architects, composers, painters, poets, and sculptors from history. 0001-09-24 A personification of the continent, seated on an Indian elephant, removes a veil to reveal herself. Flanking her are an Indian soldier, a Persian poet, a Chinese potter and a Turkish merchant. Sculpted by the Queen's daughter, the statue portrays Victoria aged 18 and wearing her coronation robes. The statue was a gift from the Kensington Golden Jubilee Memorial Executive Committee. Foley was given the commission in 1868 after the death of Carlo Marochetti. Working in the open on the model gave Foley the sickness which ultimately killed him in 1874, and the work was completed by his pupil Brock. The enthroned female figures in the tympana are identified by their inscriptions as Pictura, Poesis, Sculptura and Architectura; the last displays the design of the Albert Memorial itself. A red granite obelisk, an appropriate form of commemoration for an explorer so associated with the River Nile. The pedestal inscribed / / / / . The phrasing avoids crediting Speke with the discovery of the Nile's source, as this was a contentious point. Pastoral poetry is inscribed on each element of the work. The plaque at the entrance of the gallery is inscribed with the names of trees found at Kensington Gardens and a quotation from the 18th-century philosopher Francis Hutcheson. Diana was a patron of the Serpentine Gallery. Made in Coalbrookdale for the Great Exhibition of 1851. Installed at the entrance to Lancaster Walk in 1852 and moved to their present location in 1871, during construction of the Albert Memorial. The group consists of Commerce, bearing a cornucopia, a young merchant in "Anglo-Saxon" dress , an Eastern merchant and a rustic with a sack of corn. A gift from Kaiser Wilhelm II. The winner, alongside Watering Holes in Green Park, of a RIBA-judged design competition; it was commended for its "formal clarity and elegance". Of the two designs this was thought to be the more "design-led" and Watering Holes the more "art-led".
