Admiral David Glasgow Farragut, Bronze monument in Madison Square Park, United States.
The outdoor statue depicts Admiral Farragut in naval uniform, standing with binoculars and sword upon a granite base surrounded by relief figures.
Augustus Saint-Gaudens created this bronze sculpture in 1880, marking his first major commission and dedicating it to the celebrated Civil War naval commander.
The statue presents women figures in bas-relief on the pedestal sides, reflecting the merging of natural forms within American artistic expression.
Located at the north end of Madison Square Park, visitors can access the monument daily while exploring the gardens and pathways.
The original bluestone base of the statue now resides at Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park in Cornish, New Hampshire, replaced by granite in 1930.
