I love that story so much. Normally artists who work in bronze know what they’re doing. It’s much less forgiving than say clay. So, you’d think just by the fact it’s a bronze statue it’s going to be pretty good. Then, throw in that the model for the art is incredibly good looking. This isn’t a case where an artist has to decide whether to portray an ugly person accurately, or to make them better looking. Ronaldo already looks like a statue come to life. And yet…
I am utterly convinced that someone in the process of that statues creation either hated the Confederates or Forrest in particular. Also that is the only confederate statue I wouldn’t scrap.
Reminds me of the unintentionally hilarious statue of nathan bedford forrest, and for exactly the same reasons.
That was unintentional?
Reminds me of this.
I knew it was him before I clicked. The resemblance is hilarious :D
