EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Puritan, 1883-86 (bronze)" sculpture created by the renowned artist Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Standing at an impressive height of 77.5 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Commissioned by Chester W. Chapin, a prominent railroad tycoon and congressman, this bronze likeness pays homage to his ancestor Deacon Samuel Chapin. Deacon Chapin was a courageous individual who fled Devon in search of religious freedom and played a vital role as one of the three founding fathers of Springfield, Massachusetts during colonial times. Saint-Gaudens skillfully crafted this statue to embody the essence of a Puritan - someone deeply committed to their faith and principles. The unveiling ceremony took place on Thanksgiving Day in 1887, where it received immense admiration from the community. Due to its popularity, smaller versions were made after 1899. This artwork symbolizes not only the religious devotion and piety associated with Puritans but also represents the early settlers who ventured into the New World seeking refuge from religious persecution. It serves as a reminder of America's rich history and its foundation built upon principles such as liberty and freedom. Through intricate metalwork and attention to detail, Saint-Gaudens captures both the physical presence and spiritual depth that characterized these early settlers' lives. This print allows viewers to appreciate every nuance of this remarkable sculpture while contemplating its historical significance within British colonial America.
