Equestrian statue of José Martí, Bronze equestrian sculpture at Central Park entrance, United States.
The bronze statue shows José Martí on horseback with an outstretched arm, mounted upon a dark granite pedestal near Columbus Circle.
Anna Hyatt Huntington completed the sculpture in 1959, but political tensions between Cuba and the United States delayed its installation until 1965.
The monument stands alongside statues of Simón Bolívar and José de San Martín, forming a dedicated space for Latin American independence leaders.
Visitors can reach the statue by entering Central Park from the Avenue of the Americas, between West 59th Street and West 60th Street.
The sculptor created this masterwork at age 81 and donated it to the Cuban government, which then presented it to New York City.
