Albert Ernest Harnisch

HARNISCH, Albert Ernest, sculptor, born in Philadelphia, 14 February, 1842. He early showed a taste for art, and while still a lad modelled his first work, a "Cupid." This was followed by "Love in Idleness," "Wandering Psyche," "Little Protector," and "Little Hunter." He then studied under Joseph A. Bailly in the Philadelphia academy of fine arts, and in 1869 went to Italy, where he still resides (1887). There he has executed several important works, among them his "Boy in the Eagle's Nest." He has also made a specialty of portrait busts. To the Philadelphia exhibition of 1876 he sent a statue, and a "Sketch for a Monument to the Prisoner's Friend." In 1878 he executed a model for a proposed equestrian statue of General Robert E. Lee, to be erected at Richmond, Virginia, which is said to be "remarkable in respect to its simplicity." He is also to be credited with the Calhoun monument at Charleston, South Carolina, dedicated 26 April, 1887, the Clement Barclay family group, and other works.
