Sometimes you get remembered because of a
"lady"
this is Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi
Born in France. He was into the arts since he was young
and decided to become a sculptor . because of studies he got to travel to quite a few places with fellow artist. one of
the places that in a way inspired him the most was on this trip to Egypt, and
the grand scale of the objects monuments and runes he encounters. He was interested
in American politics so when the project of celebration the Franco-American union came to him he created
a model of a lady with a torch. While that project took time to form he created the Lion of Belfort in commemoration of the
Franco-Prussian war, war in which he took part of. After some time and the
statue for Americas was approves it took several years for the sufficient funds
to be gather. he also noticed that the sculpture would be too heavy and bid to
be fully created of Bronze so he worked together with Gustave Eiffel who
created the internal structure of the statue. The statue of liberty was dedicated
on 1886 and Bartholdi was in the ceremony.
