Michael Foye (Irish, active 1765 - 1777)
Little is known about the Irish sculptor Michael Foye. He entered one of Dublin?s art schools - the Dublin Society School in 1765. In 1767 he exhibited two works at the Society of Artists and by 1770 he is known to be working in the studio of the sculptor, John Van Nost. Two years later he had travelled to Italy. It is believed he was the `Foy? who sent a `bust of an artist? from Rome to an exhibition of the Society of Artists.
