The Statue of the Republic is a 24 foot tall bronze sculpture, created by Daniel Chester French in 1893 for The World’s Fair. I choose this out of all the images because I found it the most breathtaking and I think out of everything it represents America and Chicago’s World Fair. The statue which stands in front of what looks like the gates to the city, is very grand and sends a message of power and pride. The statue features an eagle on top of a globe which to me signifies unity from everyone visiting from all over the world coming together. The Statue and its placement also is relevant to The Word Fair because of the water. It seems like the statue is placed on top of a pool of water, which relates to the 200 buildings featured in The World Fair that often included neoclassical designs with canals and lagoons. All in all The Statue of the Republic is a beautiful peace of art that welcomed everyone coming to Chicago for the World Fair.
