Statue of George Canning, Bronze statue in Parliament Square, Westminster, United Kingdom.
The statue features George Canning in a long robe and cloak, holding a scroll in his left hand, standing on a granite base.
Richard Westmacott created this statue in 1832, five years after Canning's death, following his brief tenure as Prime Minister in 1827.
The statue's design follows the neoclassical style with Roman influence, depicting Canning in a combination of classical and contemporary clothing elements.
The monument stands at 3.56 meters tall and visitors can reach it through Westminster Underground station or numerous London bus routes.
During the initial installation in 1831, the statue fell from its hoist, resulting in the death of assistant sculptor Vincent Gahagan.
