Peter Rouw
Peter Rouw II (17 April 1771– 9 December 1852〔Dates in Rupert Gunnis, ''Dictionary of British Sculptors 1660-1851, rev, ed. 1968, ''s.v.'' "Rouw, Peter, the Younger"; Gunnis includes a list of monuments,〕) was a London-based sculptor specialising in bas-reliefs in marble, often in the form of mural church monuments, and in wax miniature portraits, often of a pink hue on black glass. He designed medals, including one of William Wilberforce,〔Gunnis 1968.〕 and also made a few marble busts. He exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts. In 1807 Rouw was appointed modeller of cameos and gems to the Prince Regent.〔Gunnis 1968;(Peter Rouw ). Victoria & Albert Museum biography. Retrieved 25 September 2012.〕
==Background==
He was the son of the sculptor Peter Rouw I (fl. 1787- 1793〔The elder Rouw exhibited wax portraits and a figure for a chimneypiece at the Royal Academy, 1787-93 (Gunnis 1968, ''s.v.'' "Rouw, Peter, the Elder").〕), apparently of Dutch origin. He entered the Royal Academy Schools in 1788 and exhibited there until 1838. He was a friend of the sculptor Joseph Nollekens. He had an address in Norton Street, Fitzroy Square. In later life he lost the sight of one eye and experienced financial problems.〔(Peter Rouw ) Sussex Parish Churches, Architects and Artists.
