The "Tomb of Sir Joseph and Lady Elizabeth Nightingale" is a notable funerary monument created by the eminent French sculptor Louis François Roubiliac. Located in Westminster Abbey, London, this work of art is considered one of Roubiliac's masterpieces and a significant example of 18th-century sculpture in England. The monument commemorates Sir Joseph Nightingale, a wealthy English gentleman, and his wife, Lady Elizabeth Nightingale, who tragically died in childbirth in 1731.

Roubiliac's work, completed in 1761, is renowned for its dramatic representation of the moment of Lady Elizabeth's death. The sculpture depicts a life-sized angel of death, or a skeletal figure representing Death, emerging from the doors of a tomb to strike Lady Elizabeth with an arrow, while her husband, Sir Joseph, attempts to shield her with his body. The emotional intensity of the scene, combined with the high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail, makes the monument a powerful evocation of love and loss.

The monument's design reflects the Baroque sensibilities of the period, with its dynamic movement, expressive figures, and theatricality. It is also an early example of the Rococo style that would come to prominence in the mid-18th century, characterized by its elaborate ornamentation and fluid forms. The work is admired for its technical skill, particularly in the rendering of textures and the complex interplay of light and shadow.

As a significant work of funerary art, the "Tomb of Sir Joseph and Lady Elizabeth Nightingale" has been the subject of art historical analysis and is often highlighted in discussions of Roubiliac's oeuvre and the broader context of sculpture in Georgian Britain. The monument not only serves as a memorial to the Nightingales but also stands as a testament to the emotional power and artistic virtuosity of Roubiliac, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest sculptors working in England during the 18th century.
