Joseph Robinson Kirk (1821 – 30 August 1894) was a noted Irish sculptor. He was born in Dublin, the eldest son of Thomas Kirk. He lived in Jervis Street and studied with his father (along with two brothers and a sister who also became sculptors) and at the Dublin Society's School. He became master of the RDS modelling school in 1852 and in 1854 he became a member of the Royal Hibernian Academy. Among his best-known works are the figures of Divinity, Law, Medicine and Science on the campanile in TCD and a relief at the base of the Wellington Monument. He also executed the figure over his father's grave in Mount Jerome Cemetery. Like his father he executed a number of unique reliefs for church memorials throughout the country.[1] He died in 1894 and is interred in Mount Jerome Cemetery, Dublin.[2] References1. ^Paula Murphy: Nineteenth-Century Irish Sculpture, Yale University Press, 2010. {{ISBN|978-0-300-15909-7}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Kirk, Joseph Robinson}}{{Ireland-sculptor-stub}}2. ^Dictionary of Irish Architects 6 : 1821 births|1894 deaths|Irish sculptors|People from Dublin (city)|Burials at Mount Jerome Cemetery and Crematorium|19th-century sculptors |
