About the sculpture
'Duncan's horses devouring one another', is by John Graham Lough and dates from about 1834. This subject is taken from Shakespeare's 'Macbeth'. Lough (1798-1876) was an English sculptor who entered the Royal Academy Schools in 1826. He was particularly interested in Shakespearean subjects. From 1834 to 1838 he worked in Rome, where he produced portraits influenced by the Neoclassical style. One of his best work is the monument to George Stephenson (1863) in Newcastle upon Tyne. Lough produced many ideal works on classical, historical and literary themes, including a series of marble statues of Shakespearean subjects.
