From the Capitoline Museums, at the Getty Villa. Greek, 325–300 B.C., Restored in Rome in 1594. To judge from the subject matter and style, the animal group was probably made in northern Greece or Asia Minor (present-day Turkey) following Alexander the Great's conquest of the Persian Empire. Much admired by Michelangelo Buonarroti (Italian, 1475–1564), who pronounced it 'most marvelous'.

This project originated in a public meeting held on April 21, 1865 in Glatigny (Moselle, France). The participants were lovers of the young republic of the United States and thus celebrated the anniversary of the abolition of slavery. It was during this meeting that the construction of a colossal statue was proposed to strengthen Franco-American friendship. Auguste Bartholdi, a young artist and architect, participated and proposed to divert the project he had already made for the creation of such a statue at the entrance to the Suez Canal. What was adopted. All this is told in the Origin part of the project.
So was done. The financing part was quite difficult to complete, both in France and in the United States. This project required the intervention of both countries because if the statue is a purely French construction, the gigantic pedestal, it is the responsibility of the host country. So two fundraising campaigns were launched at the same time, and it was not long before the project could not be born. This is also told in the Financing part of the Statue of Liberty
