description: "Moses Jacob Ezekiel, also known as Moses \"Ritter von\" Ezekiel, was an American sculptor who lived and worked in Rome for the majority of his career. Ezekiel was \"the first American-born Jewish artist to receive international acclaim\". Ezekiel was an ardent supporter, in both his writings and in his works, of the Lost Cause view of the American Civil War, asserting that he had \"never fought for slavery, but for states' rights and for free trade.\" In a eulogy, President Warren Harding described him as \"a great Virginian, a great artist, a great American, and a great citizen of world fame.\""
