Bacon, John (1740–1799)| English sculptor. Although best known as a designer of ornaments in low relief, he also worked as a monumental sculptor; his works include monuments for the politician William Pitt in Westminster Abbey and the Guildhall, London, and the lexicographer Samuel Johnson in St Paul's Cathedral, London. |
| Bacon trained as a modeller in porcelain before turning to sculpture. In 1769 he won the first gold medal ever awarded for sculpture by the Royal Academy for a bas-relief representing The Flight of Aeneas from Troy. In 1770 he exhibited a figure of Mars. |
