Powers, Hiram (1805–73). American sculptor, active in Italy from 1837. He first achieved success with portrait busts, but his great international fame came with his marble statue
The Greek Slave (1841–3), which caused a sensation at the Great Exhibition in London in 1851 and was for a time one of the most talked-about and reproduced works of art of the age (there are several versions of it, for example in the Corcoran Gallery, Washington). The naked girl (a captive of the infidel Turks in the Greek War of Independence, 1821–32, is bound in chains and the astonishing popularity of the statue (which now seems rather insipid) no doubt depended on the way in which its sentimentality licensed its eroticism.
