EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the stunning Statue of the Llotja representing Africa, a masterpiece of neoclassical art created by the renowned Catalan sculptor Manuel Oliver. Located in the courtyard of the Llotja de Mar, a historic building in Barcelona, Spain, this sculptural group is part of the Four Continents series, which also includes figures representing Europe, America, and Asia. The statue of Africa is an allegorical representation of the continent, depicted as a female figure with an elegant and regal posture. She wears a crown adorned with various symbols of Africa, such as palm leaves and a sun disc. The figure occupies a grand niche, surrounded by intricate carvings and ornate details. The statue was built during the 18th and 19th centuries, reflecting the rich history and cultural significance of Barcelona and Catalonia during that time. The Statue of the Llotja representing Africa is a testament to the artistic and historical importance of Barcelona and Spain. It is a must-see attraction for visitors to the city, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the connections between different parts of the world. The neoclassical style of the sculpture is characterized by its grandeur, symmetry, and attention to detail, making it a true work of art that continues to inspire and captivate viewers to this day.
