José Bonifácio de Andrada e Silva, Bronze statue in Bryant Park, Manhattan, US.
The bronze sculpture depicts a Brazilian statesman dressed formally and sits in Bryant Park. The work rests on a granite base that frames the area around it.
The memorial was unveiled in 1955 to honor a figure from the 1800s who helped shape Brazil's founding and governance. Its placement in New York marks a historical connection between the two nations.
The site honors a Brazilian statesman who shaped his nation's path to independence and governance. It represents a bond between Brazil and the United States in one of New York's most visited parks.
The monument sits in Bryant Park between Avenue of the Americas and 40th to 42nd Streets with easy access for all visitors. The park offers multiple pathways to reach and view it comfortably.
The sculpture was selected through an international artist competition and funded entirely by Brazil. This generosity reveals how much Brazil valued this tribute in New York.
