Frederick Ernest "Fritz" Triebel (December 29, 1865 – 1944 ) American sculptor, best remembered for his two works, marble statues of George Laird Shoup and Henry Mower Rice, located in the National Statuary Hall Collection in Washington D.C. He was born in Peoria, Illinois, where his father, was a monument maker. His father had been apprenticed as a stone carver in Germany before immigrating to the United States and it was likely from him that Triebel learned the rudiments of sculpting.
