Connecticut
001 – Hartford
In Hartford, Connecticut, there is a monument whose protagonist is Marquis de LaFayette. Around 1907, it was created by Paul Wayland Bartlett. The turtle is extremely small compared to the whole sculpture, it is very easy to miss it. The main part is the title character on a horse, “on the ground” on which the horse is standing, there is also a tiny sculpture of a turtle. But the whole thing rests on a large pedestal, so the turtle is also well above the groundand hard to spot. The turtle itself was added by the artist after the actual sculpture was made, as a form of expression of dissatisfaction that the city was lingering with installation of the work in his final place.
