''Death and the Sculptor'', also known as the Milmore Monument and The Angel of Death and the Young Sculptor〔Taft, Lorado, ‘’The History of American Sculpture’’, The Macmillan Company, New York, 1925 p. 252〕 is a sculpture in bronze, and one of the most important and influential works of art created by sculptor Daniel Chester French. The work was commissioned to mark the grave in Forest Hills Cemetery in Jamaica Plain, Boston, Massachusetts, of the brothers Joseph (1841-1886), James and Martin Milmore (1844-1883).〔Wilson, Susan, ‘’Garden of Memories: A Guide to Historic Forest Hills’’, Forest Hills Educational Trust, 1998 p. 61〕 It has two figures effectively in the round, linked to a background relief behind them. The right-hand figure represents a sculptor, whose hand holding a chisel is gently restrained by the fingers of the left-hand figure, representing Death, here shown as a winged female. == Grave Subjects == The Milmore brothers immigrated to the United States from Ireland in 1851, Joseph becoming a stone carver and Martin a sculptor. They frequently collaborated on commissions, the most notable one being the granite ''Sphinx'' (1873) that resides in Mount Auburn Cemetery.
