Celebrate William Shakespeare’s life this April with this bronze sculpture of one of the world’s greatest poets and playwrights. William Shakespeare created over 38 plays and 150 sonnets. Shakespeare’s works have left a lasting legacy, and he remains one of the most influential writers in history. Albert Ernest Carrier-Belleuse is a French sculptor, most known for his work The Abduction of Hippodameia. Carrier-Belleuse also created the sculpture on the Conical Clock of a woman holding a pendulum on display on the first floor in the great court of Main Building.
