Monument to Ramón de Campoamor, Bronze and marble sculptures in El Retiro Park, Madrid, Spain
The Monument to Ramón de Campoamor is a bronze sculpture group consisting of a central seated figure surrounded by three female forms in artistic marble. The work sits in El Retiro Park and displays a detailed composition that represents different human conditions.
The sculpture group was created in 1912 by Spanish artist Lorenzo Coullaut Valera and has shaped the park's appearance since then. The work arose during a time when public monuments served as important means to honor cultural figures.
The monument honors an important Spanish poet from the 19th century, and its female figures show how literature connects to different stages of human life. Visitors can see here how artistic works reflect themes of Spanish culture that remain relevant today.
The monument sits in the southeastern area of El Retiro Park and is easy to reach via several pathways. The best time to visit is early morning or late afternoon when fewer people are in the park.
The three female figures represent not just life stages but also embody poetic concepts connected to Campoamor's writings. This symbolic depth is often overlooked, as visitors first perceive the forms as merely decorative elements.
