The Great Bartholdi Statue, formally titled "Liberty Enlightening the World," is the monument most people picture when they hear the name Statue of Liberty. Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, the French sculptor who designed it, conceived the figure as a gift from the people of France to the United States, marking the friendship between the two nations and the centennial of American independence. Its copper skin, shaped over an iron framework engineered by Gustave Eiffel's company, has weathered to the green patina visitors see today. Looking closely at the torch and tablet, you can trace how a 19th-century French artist translated the ideal of liberty into a figure that still greets arrivals in New York Harbor.
