WOLFF, Emil
(b. 1802 Berlin, d. 1879 Roma)
German sculptor. He was the nephew and student of Johann Gottfried Schadow. Active in Rome, he worked with Rudolf (Ridolfo) Schadow and Bertel Thorvaldsen, whose influence is felt throughout his work. Wolff received significant commissions from both the Prussian and British monarchies; the Royal Collection houses numerous of his works including his magnificent statue of Prince Albert (1846).
