Admiral David Glasgow Farragut, Bronze monument in Madison Square Park, United States.

The Admiral David Glasgow Farragut monument is a bronze sculpture depicting the naval officer in uniform, holding binoculars and a sword while standing on a granite pedestal. The base features allegorical female figures carved in relief that frame the standing figure.

Augustus Saint-Gaudens created this bronze work in 1880 as his first major sculptural commission in a public space. The piece honored the celebrated naval commander who led victories during the American Civil War.

The inscriptions on the exedra were written by Richard Grant White, Stanford White's father. The west side calls Farragut a "daring and sagacious commander"; the east side lists his ranks and battles, from midshipman in 1810 to first Admiral of the United States in 1866. John Dryfhout described the base's mix of sinuous natural forms and ideal reliefs as the first expression of American Art Nouveau.

The sculpture sits at the northern end of Madison Square Park and remains accessible throughout the year as part of the park grounds. Visitors can view it while walking through the garden pathways and taking time to examine details from different angles.

The bluestone base that Saint-Gaudens or his brother Louis likely carved was replaced by the current granite one in the 1930s as a Works Project Administration project; the earlier base went to Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park in Cornish, New Hampshire. A bronze bust study for the statue is held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
