UN PROYECTO ESCULTÓRICO FRUSTRADO PARA EL CEMENTERIO SEVILLANO DE SAN FERNANDO

Abstract

Towards the end of the 19th century, it was clanned to carry out major public works in the Cemetery of San Femando in Seville, inaugurated in 1853. In 1897 a competition was orga­nited to design a monument for the entrance to the cemetery. Various sculptors and archi­tects from Barcelona, Madrid and Seville took part, among them Enrie Clarasó, Eduardo Rodríguez Bellver and Joaquín Bilbao, the eventual winner. Unfortunately, the proposed sculpture was never actually executed.
