Les grands soutiens du monde, Bronze sculpture at Musée Bartholdi, Colmar, France
The bronze sculpture features three monumental figures holding a globe, representing Justice, Labor, and Patriotism through their distinct attributes and poses.
Auguste Bartholdi created this bronze sculpture in 1902, which was first presented at the Salon des Artistes Français before its installation at the museum in 1909.
The sculpture exhibits the influence of Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux's Fountain of the Four Parts of the World on Bartholdi's allegorical representation methods.
The sculpture stands in the courtyard of Musée Bartholdi at 30 rue des Marchands, where visitors can examine the detailed bronze work throughout the year.
Each figure carries specific items: a mature man holds books with a gear wheel, a young man carries a sword with a shield, and a woman holds a balance.
