EXAMPLES OF SCULPTURE
The bronze-and-granite Rizal monument is among the most
famous sculptural landmarks in the country. It is almost protocol for
visiting dignitaries to lay a wreath at the monument. Located on the
monument is not merely the statue of the national hero, but also his
remains.

Act No. 243, which would erect a monument in Luneta to commemorate
the memory of José Rizal, Philippine patriot, writer and poet.The committee formed by the act held an international
design competition between 1905–1907 and invited sculptors from Europe and the United States to submit entries
with an estimated cost of ₱100,000 using local materials.

1848 Wolfwil in the canton of Solothurn, Switzerland.

because of the fact that Theresa herself was such a controversial woman that she looks enclosed
and controlled.
The church was afraid that because Theresa could be considered subversive that
people would not take away the meaning they wanted to convey.
As mentioned before this was during the Counter Reformation
and because she was so controversial their need
something to show that while she remains a figure who can
emotionally move people she is also controlled by the church.
