Agostino Aglio (sculptor)
Augustine Aglio (also Anglicized Augustine Aglio , * 1816 in Kennington , Middlesex or London , † March 11, 1885 ) was a British sculptor , book illustrator and watercolor painter .
Life
Aglio was the son of Agostino Aglio (1777-1857) and married since February 7, 1846 with Margaret Absolon, the sister of John Absolon . He had two sisters, Mary Elizabeth Aglio and Emma Walsh Aglio. Aglio, like his father, was a sculptor and illustrator of several books. Augustine Aglio was probably the author of a handwritten biography of his father in Italian. In 1831 he received the Silver Isis Medal of the Royal Society of Arts for a bust.

In addition to various busts, e.g. that of his father (1838), Aglio created landscape watercolors and, together with his father, made the decorations for the Olympic Theater (demolished in 1899).
