French sculptor and painter (1834–1904)
He carved the colossus that became America's front door. Liberty's torch, her crown, the tablet — all Bartholdi, a French sculptor who spent decades turning an idea about friendship between republics into 151 feet of copper and iron on a harbor island.
Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi was born in Colmar on 2 August 1834 and trained as both sculptor and painter. His career turned on a single commission that consumed much of his adult life: Liberty Enlightening the World, the statue he designed for New York Harbor. The work became universally known as the Statue of Liberty and stands as his defining achievement. He died in Paris on 4 October 1904.
