English: Moses Jacob Ezekiel (October 28, 1844 – March 27, 1917) , also known as Moses "Ritter von" Ezekiel, was a Sephardic Jewish-American sculptor who lived and worked in Rome for the majority of his career. He was a cadet at the Virginia Military Institute and served on the Confederate States of America side in the American Civil War fighting at the Battle of New Market. He was a postwar friend of Robert E. Lee, who recommended he become an artist. He studied at the Prussian Academy of Arts in Berlin. Ezekiel was a "proud Southerner" and "Confederate expatriate". The Confederate battle flag hung in his much-celebrated Rome studio in the former Baths of Diocletian, which he "occupied" 1879-1910. Some of the most celebrated statues by Ezekiel were of heroes of the Confederacy. The most famous of his monuments is the Confederate Memorial in Arlington National Cemetery, which he thought of as the "crowning achievement of his career". His works are associated with the Lost Cause of the Confederacy. Among his numerous honors and prizes was the title of Cavaliere given him by the Italian government. At the age of 29, Ezekiel was the first foreigner to win the Michel-Beer Prix de Rome.
