A Present from Bilbao

A Present from Bilbao
Prince Albert Wearing an Athletic Club Scarf

Sculpted by Carlo Marochetti

Baron Pietro Carlo Giovanni Battista Marochetti RA (14 January 1805 – 29 December 1867) was an Italian-born French sculptor who worked in France, Italy and Britain. He completed many public sculptures, often in a neo-classical style, plus reliefs, memorials and large equestrian monuments in bronze and marble. In 1848, Marochetti settled in England, where he received commissions from Queen Victoria. Marochetti received great recognition during his lifetime, being made a baron in Italy and was awarded the Legion of Honour by the French government.

La fotografía está muy bien, comenzando por el encuadre. Lo de la bufanda y la pegatina de los colores de la Ikurriña no sé si clasificarlo en el lado bueno o en el malo. Por principio, creo que toda obra de arte hay que respetarla, pero en descargo de quien le puso la bufanda, quiero pensar que no lo hizo por maldad ni por agredirla. Saludos cordiales, Joe.

Prince Albert looks resplendent in his Athletic Club scarf. The Duke of Wellington statue, a couple of hundred yards from here, always ends up with a traffic cone on his head. So, Glaswegians are used to this sort of thing. Thanks for your very kind comment, José. Best wishes, Joe
