CONNELLY, Pierce Francis, sculptor, born in a southern City about 1840. He was taken to England when a child, received a good education, and studied painting in Paris, and afterward in Rome. At the age of twenty he determined to become a sculptor, established himself at Florence, and executed, among other works, "Thetis," in the New York museum of fine arts; "St. Martin and the Beggar," an equestrian group ; "Ophelia" ; "Horror arresting the Triumph of Death" ; "Queen Philippa"; "Diana transforming Actaeon," and other pieces exhibited at the Philadelphia centennial exhibition, and several portrait busts. In 1876 he visited the United States, and went from there to New Zealand, where he became known as an explorer of mountains, made sketches of craters, glaciers, and lakes, and painted pictures of the scenery of the country that were exhibited in Auckland in 1877.
