Giuseppe Ceracchi, also known as Giuseppe Cirachi,[1] (4 July 1751[2] – 30 January 1801) was an Italian sculptor active in a Neoclassic style. He worked in Italy, England, and in the United States following the nation's emergence following the American Revolutionary War.
Ceracci was a passionate republican who supported both the American and French revolutions.[3] During his career, he created portrait busts of prominent British and American political and military figures, including, Alexander Hamilton in 1794 and George Washington the following year, in 1795. In the United States, he worked predominantly in the post-Revolutionary capital of Philadelphia.
^The terracotta model for his bust of Sir Joshua Reynolds (Burlington House) is signed Cirachi (Rupert Gunnis, Dictionary of British Sculptors 1660–1851, s.v. "Ceracchi, or Cirachi, Joseph", rev. ed. 1968).
^The unfounded tradition that he was born in Corsica may stem from the portrait bust he exhibited at the Royal Academy of Pasquale Paoli, the Corsican patriot and founder of a short-lived republic, the first of modern times.

In 1989, a commemorative exhibition of his work was exhibited at Palazzo dei Conservator in Rome, titled "Giuseppe Ceracchi: scultore giacobino : 1751-1801", translated as "Giuseppe Ceracchi, Jacobin sculptor".
