Framed Print of Beniamino Bufano Touching Face of Sculpture

(Original Caption). Sculptor Reclaims Statue After 25 Years. Paris, France: Beniamino Bufano, Italian born American sculptor, is shown beaming happily as he runs his hand over the face of the gigantic statue of St. Francis of Assisi he completed in Paris in 1930 and which has been in a Paris warehouse since. Bufano was in Paris in 1927 when he acquired apiece of black Belgian granite, weighing 32 tons. Aware of a project to erect a statue of St. Francis on San Francisco's Telegraph Hill, he set out to sculpt the statue. He completed it in two pieces, but the San Francisco committee in charge of the project had trouble of some king and Bufano had to pack his giant statue and put it in storage. Now San Franciscans have started a fund to bring the statue to the U.S. and erect it where originally intended -- on Telegraph Hill. Statue weighs 20 tons. Unleash your creativity with premium art prints that turn any room into a visual masterpiece.
