Painting Description
"The Great Bartholdi Statue Liberty Enlightening the World" is a notable lithograph created by the American printmaking firm Currier & Ives, depicting the Statue of Liberty, which is one of the most iconic monuments in the United States and a symbol of freedom and democracy. The lithograph was produced in the late 19th century, around the time of the statue's dedication in 1886. Currier & Ives, known for their popular and affordable prints, captured the grandeur and significance of the statue through this artwork.
The lithograph features the colossal neoclassical sculpture designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, which was a gift from the people of France to the United States. The statue itself, formally titled "Liberty Enlightening the World," stands on Liberty Island in New York Harbor and represents Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom. She holds a torch above her head with her right hand, and in her left hand carries a tabula ansata inscribed with the date of the American Declaration of Independence. A broken chain lies at her feet, symbolizing the end of oppression and the triumph of liberty.
Currier & Ives's lithograph not only captures the visual essence of the statue but also reflects the cultural and historical context of its creation and dedication. The firm's prints were widely distributed and hung in many American homes, and this particular image would have played a role in shaping the public's perception of the statue as a national symbol. The Great Bartholdi Statue Liberty Enlightening the World by Currier & Ives remains an important historical artifact, offering insight into the patriotic sentiments and artistic tastes of the period.
