EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a close-up view of the "Worlds Columbian Exposition Commemorative Medal, 1892/93" created by the renowned artist Augustus Saint-Gaudens. The medal, made of bronze, was crafted to honor the historic event known as the Chicago World's Fair or Worlds Columbian Exposition. Intricate details are brought to life through this image, revealing a man with arms outstretched in a powerful posture. This male figure represents Christopher Columbus, an explorer whose navigation skills led him to discover America. With his gaze fixed upwards towards new horizons, he symbolizes the spirit of exploration and discovery that defined this era. The commemorative medal serves as a reminder of America's rich heritage and its connection to European colonialism. It reflects both artistic realism and Beaux-Arts style prevalent during the late 19th century. The Italian influence is evident in its design elements, paying homage to Columbus' birthplace. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago, this exquisite piece stands as an iconic representation of American art history. Its presence within the Arts of Americas collection highlights its significance in preserving cultural memory. Augustus Saint-Gaudens' creation captures not only historical context but also embodies concepts such as commemoration and national identity.
