"Lady Godiva Bronze Sculpture 1990 19 in" by Felix de Weldon - 🔥🔥Fabulous Bronze Sculpture - A Steal - Inquire
Provenance / HistoryFelix de Weldon to create what would become his life's masterpiece, the forty-eight foot high monument of The Flag Raising On Iwo Jima.
Story / Additional InfoLady Godiva, Countess of Mercia, took pity on the people of Coventry, who were suffering grievously under her husband's oppressive taxation. Lady Godiva appealed again and again to her husband, who obstinately refused. Weary of her entreaties, he said he would grant her request if she would strip naked and ride on a horse through the streets of the town. Lady Godiva took him at his word, and after issuing a proclamation that all persons should stay indoors and shut their windows, she rode through the town, clothed only in her long hair. In the end, Godiva's husband keeps his word and abolishes the onerous taxes.

I am looking for one of his pieces that is a submarine, made also as a monument at the US Naval Academy, commemorating the 100 years of submarine service. It was completed in 99 and the monument for 1900-2000 America's Submarine Centennial. Thank you for your time!
