{{short description|Irish sculptor}}{{Use dmy dates|date=April 2018}}{{Other people||John Smyth (disambiguation){{!}}John Smyth}}John Smyth (c. 1773 – 1840) was an Irish sculptor.[1] The son of sculptor Edward Smyth (1749–1812),[2] John Smyth was trained at the Dublin Society's school, and worked with his father at Montgomery Street (now Foley Street) in Dublin.[3][4] One of his first public works was a monument to John Ball in St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin.[5] He assisted his father, Edward, with a number of sculptures at Parliament House (now Bank of Ireland), the King's Inns, and with decorative plaster and stonework at the Chapel Royal of Dublin Castle.[6] He also sculpted the statues of Mercury, Fidelity, and Hibernia for the pediment of the General Post Office, Dublin (c.1814).[3][7] He repaired the equestrian statue of William III (William of Orange) in College Green after it was blown up in 1836.[3] Other pieces by John Smyth were sculpted for Dublin's Richmond Bridge (c.1816; now O'Donovan Rossa Bridge),[6] and several public buildings and churches in the capital.[8] A number of his works are now held by the National Gallery of Ireland.[9] Like his own father, several of John Smyth's own children become sculptors,[1] as did his grandchildren.[10]
