Monument to Mendizábal, Bronze statue in Plaza Tirso de Molina, Madrid, Spain
The monument depicts Juan Álvarez Mendizábal wearing traditional attire and holding a decree, with a Spanish cape draped over his shoulders.
The statue was commissioned in 1855, cast in Paris between 1856 and 1857, and officially inaugurated in 1869 at the former Plaza del Progreso.
José Gragera y Herboso created this representation of Mendizábal, capturing the likeness of this Spanish politician who implemented significant liberal reforms.
