Christ the Redeemer (Portuguese: Cristo Redentor, standard Brazilian Portuguese: [ˈkɾistu ʁedẽˈtoʁ], local pronunciation: [ˈkɾiɕtŭ̥ xe̞dẽˈtoɦ]) is an Art Deco statue of Jesus Christ in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, created by French sculptor Paul Landowski and congenital past Brazilian engineer Heitor da Silva Costa, in collaboration with French engineer Albert Caquot. Romanian sculptor Gheorghe Leonida fashioned the face. Constructed between 1922 and 1931, the statue is 30 metres (98 ft) high, excluding its 8-metre (26 ft) pedestal. The arms stretch 28 metres (92 ft) wide.[1] [2] It is made of reinforced concrete and soapstone.[3] [4] [5]

The statue weighs 635 metric tons (625 long, 700 short tons), and is located at the acme of the 700-metre (two,300 ft) Corcovado mountain in the Tijuca National Park overlooking the city of Rio de Janeiro. A symbol of Christianity around the world, the statue has also become a cultural icon of both Rio de Janeiro and Brazil and was voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the Earth.[6]

History [edit]

A view of the Corcovado before the construction, 19th century

Vincentian priest Pedro Maria Boss beginning suggested placing a Christian monument on Mount Corcovado in the mid-1850s to accolade Princess Isabel, regent of Brazil and the daughter of Emperor Pedro Two, but the project was not approved.[1] In 1889 the country became a republic, and attributable to the separation of church building and state the proposed statue was dismissed.[7]

The Catholic Circle[ clarification needed ] of Rio fabricated a second proposal for a landmark statue on the mountain in 1920.[8] The group organized an event called Semana do Monumento ("Monument Week") to concenter donations and collect signatures to back up the edifice of the statue. The organisation was motivated by what they perceived as "Godlessness" in the society. The donations came generally from Brazilian Catholics.[three] The designs considered for the "Statue of the Christ" included a representation of the Christian cross, a statue of Jesus with a world in his easily, and a pedestal symbolizing the earth.[9] The statue of Christ the Redeemer with open arms, a symbol of peace, was chosen.

Local engineer Heitor da Silva Costa and artist Carlos Oswald designed the statue.[10] French sculptor Paul Landowski created the work.[11]

In 1922, Landowski commissioned fellow Parisian Romanaian sculptor Gheorghe Leonida, who studied sculpture at the Fine Arts Conservatory in Bucharest and in Italy.[12]

A group of engineers and technicians studied Landowski's submissions and felt building the construction of reinforced concrete (designed by Albert Caquot) instead of steel was more suitable for the cross-shaped statue. The physical making upwardly the base was supplied from Limhamn, Sweden.[thirteen] [14] The outer layers are soapstone, called for its enduring qualities and ease of use.[4] Structure took 9 years, from 1922 to 1931, and cost the equivalent of US$250,000 (equivalent to $3,600,000 in 2020) and the monument opened on Oct 12, 1931.[4] [5] During the opening ceremony, the statue was to be lit by a battery of floodlights turned on remotely by Italian shortwave radio inventor Guglielmo Marconi, stationed 9,200 kilometres (v,700 mi) away in Rome but because of bad atmospheric condition, the lights were activated on site.[8]

In October 2006, on the 75th anniversary of the statue's completion, Cardinal Eusebio Oscar Scheid, Archbishop of Rio, consecrated a chapel, named after Brazil's patron saint—Our Lady of the Apparition—under the statue, allowing Catholics to agree baptisms and weddings there.[5]

Lightning struck the statue during a violent thunderstorm on February 10, 2008, causing some damage to the fingers, caput and eyebrows. The Rio de Janeiro state authorities initiated a restoration effort to supercede some of the outer soapstone layers and repair the lightning rods on the statue. Lightning damaged it again on Jan 17, 2014, dislodging a finger on the right paw.[15] [16] [17] [18]

In 2010, a massive restoration of the statue began. Work included cleaning, replacing the mortar and soapstone on the exterior, restoring iron in the internal structure, and waterproofing the monument. Vandals attacked the statue during renovation, spraying paint along the arm. Mayor Eduardo Paes called the human action "a criminal offense against the nation". The culprits later apologized and presented themselves to the police.[19] [20] [21]

In reference to Brazil striker Ronaldo's usual goal celebration of both arms outstretched, the Pirelli tyre company ran a 1998 commercial in which he replaced the statue while in an Inter Milan strip.[22] The commercial was controversial with the Catholic Church.[23]

Restoration [edit]

In 1990, several organizations, including the Archdiocese of Rio de Janeiro, media company Grupo Globo, oil company Shell do Brasil, environmental regulator IBAMA, National Found of Historic and Artistic Heritage, and the city regime of Rio de Janeiro entered into an agreement to bear restoration piece of work.

More piece of work on the statue and its environs was conducted in 2003 and early 2010. In 2003, a fix of escalators, walkways, and elevators were installed to facilitate access to the platform surrounding the statue. The four-month restoration in 2010[24] focused on the statue itself. The statue's internal structure was renovated and its soapstone mosaic roofing was restored by removing a chaff of fungi and other microorganisms and repairing modest cracks. The lightning rods located in the statue'due south head and artillery were besides repaired, and new lighting fixtures were installed at the human foot of the statue.[25]

The restoration involved one hundred people and used more than than threescore,000 pieces of stone taken from the same quarry as the original statue.[24] During the unveiling of the restored statue, information technology was illuminated with green-and-yellow lighting in support of the Brazil national football squad playing in the 2010 FIFA World Cup.[24]

Maintenance work needs to be conducted periodically because of the strong winds and erosion to which the statue is exposed, equally well as lightning strikes.[26] The original pale rock is no longer available in sufficient quantity, and replacement stones are increasingly darker in hue.[27]
