Freedom and Equality, Missing
Location: Surrounding the Washington Monument
Six statues were conceived to represent the ideals set forth by America’s founding fathers. The famous French artist Antoine-Louis Barye created the series of monuments, each depicting a man and a boy with different symbolic animals. War, Peace, Force, Order, Freedom and Equality were the six themes that were to be represented. During the casting process Freedom and Equality were broken and thrown out. The four remain and are located at Mount Vernon Place, surrounding the Washington Monument.
