The statue was modeled after two women. The face is said to be a likeness of Auguste Bartholdi's mother. His wife posed for the arms and torso of Lady Liberty.
It was given to the U.S. from the French as a symbol of peace. The statue has the face of the sculptors mother.
The face of the Statue of Liberty was modeled after Bartholdi's mother.
"The face was modeled after that of Charlotte Beysser Bartholdi, the sculptor's mother." This answer is what I got from Wikipedia.
Liberty Enlightening the World (the actual name of the "Statue of Liberty") does not have a black face, she has a green face.She doesn't have "black" features either. She's modeled at least partially after the sculptor's mother, who was not black.
THE Liberty's face was copper color (color of a penny)
yes, the face of the statue is the artist's mother's face
Bartholdi wrote, " I will try to glorify the Republic and Liberty over there, in the hope that someday I will find it again here." This was in reference to his only country that had been annexed by the Germans during the Franco-Prussian War. He was asked to go to America by Laboulaye and build a statue in remembrance of the longstanding friendship between France and America.
It isn't known for sure, but a candidate is Isabella Eigenie Boyer. Another suggestion is the sculptor's (Bartholdi's) mother.The Statue was made to represent Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom.I like this website http://www.endex.com/gf/buildings/liberty/libertyfacts.htm
