EDITORS COMMENTS
Fray Junipero Serra, also known as Miquel Serra i Ferrer (1713-1784), is depicted in this stunning bronze sculpture with an Indian child in front of the Church of San Francisco in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. Serra was a Franciscan friar and missionary who dedicated his life to spreading Christianity in Mexico and California during the colonial period. The sculpture captures the essence of Serra's missionary work and his deep connection with the indigenous people. Serra's legacy is significant in both Spanish and American history, as he established a chain of 21 missions in California between 1769 and 1776. These missions played a crucial role in the European colonization of California and helped to establish a permanent European presence in the region. The statue, with its vertical and upright composition, is a testament to Serra's enduring influence and his commitment to spreading the Christian faith. The warm, rich colors of the bronze sculpture bring the figure to life, making it a captivating work of art that tells a story of colonial history, faith, and cultural exchange. The round, free-standing sculpture is a popular attraction in Palma de Mallorca, drawing visitors from around the world who are interested in learning more about the life and legacy of this remarkable Spanish friar.
