hold her tight
Click on image to enlarge it!This is an imposing monument dedicated to Hispanity (mmm I don't if that's the right word for Hispanidad) I found near Complutense University. It shows man holding a woman or helping her to get on the horse. I really like it.
In the back it is an inscription where it said it was donated by Dª Rafaela Azcue in the loving memory of his husband D. Gregorio Pumarejo (whom history I don't know) in 1970.
It's next to America museum in Moncloa district.
Este es un monumento a la Hispanidad que encontré cerca de la universidad Complutense. Muestra a un caballero ayudando o rescatando a una mujer y subiéndola al caballo. La escena está bastante bien conseguida ¿no?
por detrás puede leerse una inscripción en la que pone que fue donado por Doña Rafaela Azcue en la memoria de su esposo, Don Gregorio Pumarejo (de los que no sé nada) en 1970.
Está pegada al Museo de América en la zona de Moncloa.

Dsole, there's a lot of drama in that sculpture. I think it is lovely and you captured it well.
impressionnante cette statue, elle est tres belle
impressive this statue, it is very beautiful
a moving piece of art!
I like this too but actually I like sculptures in general and when it has a horse, its a bonus and with feeling and emotion to the sculpture is even better - I saw a TV show once that said there was a huge sculpture of a horse somewhere in Italy that was a tribute to Leonardo Da Vinci - the story you shared is a great addition to the image
great sculpture, i quite like the movement, great monument in memory of Mr Pumarejo.
It is very interesting to look at.
That sculpture is both romantic and sexual, with all the metaphors of lifting up, muscular horses, nude woman.
..Hola Dsole, soy mifoto, vamos con la música...En la entrada de la primavera puse la música de http://goear.com/, lo que pasa es que entraba automaticamente y ahora estan haciendo reformas y se escucha haciendo clic y se abre una nueva ventana.

I love the light in your pictures! I think when you have a good angle and good light you can even make a place look better than what it really is. Which is not the case here cause I know Madri is a beautiful city! :-)
That is a nice photograph of a great piece of sculpture. Stone and stainless steel? It looks nice to me.
Thank you for visiting my blog and for commenting about the trucks and how fast do they go you ask me.
They travel along the highway legally, at 65 miles per hour or 104.6 kilometers per hour. They take a long distance to stop.

Very nice statue !
Being a pessimist, I see a woman begging her man not to leave...but he does, anyway ;-)
I like this too Dsole! Very romantic...right? LOL! ;)
That is a very romantic statue and great story.
Es una estatua muy desconocida, está fuera de toda ruta típica.
Personalmente no me gusta mucho.
Saludos ;)

Hi Dsole - Im curious - what does dsole mean? =P
I just read a story about Picasso today... http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/03/27/DDGLNOQTCC1.DTL
Anyway, jus in case u r curious, I did a "clone" and pasted copies of one part of the image to the bottom right side so you got duplicate houses in my pic =)
Aloha!
Very nice statue. You have a lot of statues there...and you like to picture them...
Hi, Dsole, incredible sculpture of the Hispanidad & great catch. Disculpa la tardanza en contestar pero fue una semana agitada, afortunadamente la proxima, es practicamente de vacaciones, me imagino en España la "Semana Santa" tiene sus dias de asueto por las celebraciones religiosas, o me equivoco? Gracias por la visita y muchos saludos.
