Homem do Leme - Porto, Portugal - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

[PT]
"Da autoria de Américo Gomes, foi realizada em 1934. É um monumento em homenagem aos pescadores, representados pelo homem que agarra vigorosamente um leme. É admirável pelo seu movimento, expressão e caracter. Houve mesmo quem considerasse, a seu tempo, "uma das maiores revelações artísticas dos últimos tempos, no sentido da escultura nacionalista monumental portuguesa"."

"Created by Américo Gomes in 1934, this monument pays homage to fishermen, represented by the man tightly gripping a rudder. It is admirable for its movement, expression, and character. It was once considered "one of the greatest artistic revelations of recent years in the sense of Portuguese nationalist monumental sculptures"."
