About the artist:

Felix Weiss de Weldon was considered in his day to be  ‘the Michelangelo of American sculpture’. Quite an appellation. On a journey to Rome he was inspired by this immortal sculptor.

A remarkably famous sculptor in the 1930s and beyond, he was commissioned to sculpt many famous figures of the period by governments, presidents, royalty, artists and religious leaders. He would only sculpt figures he considered outstanding in their fields. He created more than 1,200 public monuments including the famous sculpture of the Iwo Jima memorial. De Weldon made sculptures from life of three of the six men raising the American flag. The other three, who had died in action later, were sculpted from photographs. De Weldon took nine years to make the memorial, and was assisted by hundreds of other sculptors. He is the only artist in the world with a masterpiece on all seven continents.
