About the piece

Painted in 1884 by Paul Joseph Victor Dargaud, this work captures a monumental moment in history: the assembly of the Statue of Liberty at the Gaget workshop in Paris. The copper colossus rises through a web of wooden scaffolding, dwarfing the surrounding limestone architecture and the curious crowds gathered on the Rue de Chazelles.
