Homenaje Centenario, Marble statue in Parque Rivadavia, Argentina.
Homenaje Centenario is a marble statue in Parque Rivadavia that depicts a young woman drawing water from a basin. The artwork is carved from white marble and forms an important sculptural element within the park's landscape.
The Catalan community in Buenos Aires donated this sculpture to the city and it was inaugurated on July 19, 1931. The work was created as part of the centennial celebrations of Argentine independence.
The statue was created by Josep Llimona i Bruguera, a Catalan sculptor, and shows the artistic taste of the Catalan community in Buenos Aires. The work reflects the community's desire to express their cultural identity and appreciation for art in Argentina.
The monument is located within the green spaces of Parque Rivadavia and is easily accessible on foot. It can be visited during daylight hours and sits near other sculptures you can explore during your walk.
The statue has changed locations several times throughout its history before returning to its current spot in Parque Rivadavia in 2009. This movement through the city reflects how urban planning and the park's importance shifted over the decades.
