Coal Miner, Bronze sculpture at Indiana Statehouse, Indianapolis, United States
The Coal Miner stands 7 feet tall on a 3-foot granite base, depicting a miner wearing overalls, boots, and carrying a safety lamp and pick axe.
The Indiana General Assembly funded this sculpture in 1965 to honor coal miners who lost their lives while working in the state's mining industry.
Polish American artist John J. Szaton created this memorial statue, which represents the industrial heritage and sacrifice of Indiana's coal mining community.
The sculpture is accessible on the west lawn of the Indiana Statehouse during regular operating hours, with guided tours available through the visitor center.
This statue is one of two identical sculptures cast at the Spampinato Art Workshop in Chicago, with its twin located at the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield.
