Death Stays the Hand of the Sculptor

            Daniel Chester French's "Death Stays the Hand of the Sculptor" or "Death and the Sculptor" was erected in 1889 in honor of Irish-American brothers Martin (1844-1883) and Joseph Milmore (1841-1886), who both died in their prime. Martin Milmore produced several fine sculptures, including the Sphinx in Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Massachusetts. "Death and the Sculptor" depicts the Angel of Death stopping the hand of a sculptor carving a sphinx. A plaque beneath reads, in part: "'Come, stay your hand,' Death to the Sculptor cried; Those who are sleeping have not really died."

Designed by landscape architect Henry A. S. Dearborn and opened in 1848, Forest Hills Cemetery, at 95 Forest Hills Avenue in Boston, Massachusetts, is a historic rural cemetery.
