 Thomas Woolner
Thomas Woolner (1825-1892) was a British sculptor and poet.
Woolner's classical inclinations were rather difficult to reconcile with Pre-Raphaelite Medievalism, but his belief in close observation of nature was consistent with their aims.
Woolner was a close friend of Alfred Tennyson, providing him with the scenario for 'Enoch Arden'.

 Thomas Woolner by J. L. Tupper
Woolner was unknown to the world, he contributed to a short-lived periodical, called The Germ, a poem which, for originality of style and matter, should have conferred upon its author (even had his subsequent matured work been wanting) the rank of no common poet.
Woolner's busts true to the visible effect; the mass of marble employed for these not being the exact equal of so much beard or eyebrow, but a mass commensurate with the impression which these leave upon the eye.
Woolner is one of the few living sculptors who, like a noble translator mindful of each special capacity of two different tongues, interprets each nicest variety of form truthfully, because not literally; by equivalents, not by equals.

The sculptor Thomas Woolner was born in Suffolk, and came to London in about 1838 where he studied sculpture under William Behnes.
Woolner’s busts of Tennyson and Maurice are what may be called a new style; they purport to represent the actual man, without any smoothing over or idealising.
Woolner became ARA in 1871, RA in 1875 and Professor of Sculpture at the RA two years later.

 Thomas Woolner Summary
Thomas Woolner, son of Thomas and Rebecca Leeks Woolner, was born at Hadleigh in Suffolk.
In 1854 Woolner left for England in hopes of receiving the commission for a proposed statue of Australian Statesman William Charles Wentworth which was to be awarded in London.
Woolner was particularly proud of the sea story which he had heard just prior to leaving Australia and which the poet laureate turned into "Enoch Arden," but he also provided Tennyson with the sermon story which became "Alymer's Field." Tennyson in turn was to influence greatly Woolner's own poetic style and choice of subject matter.

Woolner's most important works in Manchester were statues of kings and law-givers commissioned from him to decorate the Assize courts built by the architect Alfred Waterhouse.
Sadly, the building was destroyed by bombing during the Second World War, but most of Woolner's statues were rescued and are now housed in the new buildings.
Equally interesting are carvings by the O'Shea brothers, who worked with Woolner at the courts, and earlier at the Oxford Museum of Natural History.

Thomas Woolner (1825-1892) was the only sculptor member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.
This marginal position, and his somewhat patchy career, have combined to mean that his work has neither been much studied for its own sake, nor within other contexts.
The work undertaken in our archive by Joanne Lukitsch, whose expertise lies in the analysis of Victorian photography, will help to shift attention to Woolner's photography, and its part in the creation and documentation of his work.

 History of Art:Romanticism
Although eclipsed by Hunt, John Everett Millais and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Woolner was an important figure in the Brotherhood.
This is evident in Woolner’s monument to William Wordsworth (marble, 1851; St Oswald, Grasmere, Cumbria).
This relief portrait, which conveys both the poet’s physiognomy and his intellect, is flanked by botanically faithful renditions of flowers, emphasizing Wordsworth’s doctrine that in Woolner’s words, ‘common things can be made equally suggestive and instructive with the most exalted subjects’.
