Monument to General Carlos M. de Alvear, Equestrian monument in Recoleta district, Argentina.
The bronze statue features General Carlos M. de Alvear mounted on a horse, with his right arm raised, standing on a pink granite pedestal.
French sculptor Antoine Bourdelle spent ten years creating this monument, which was shipped from France to Buenos Aires and inaugurated in October 1926.
Four bronze statues measuring 3.7 meters in height encircle the pedestal, representing Force, Eloquence, Victory, and Liberty through allegorical figures.
The monument stands at the intersection of Avenida Alvear and Avenida del Libertador, near Plaza Julio de Caro in the Recoleta neighborhood.
President Marcelo Torcuato de Alvear, grandson of the honored general, attended the inauguration ceremony of this monument in 1926.
