A large copy of the equestrian Monument of General Alvear is at the far end of the promenade, while a smaller bronze (1987) of the third version (1915) is seen earlier. The Republic of Argentina ordered this sculpture — Bourdelle’s most famous international commission. He worked on it for a decade before the final version in 1923 was accepted. The final bronze was cast in 1926 and is now standing in Buenos Aires on a 14-m high plinth surrounded by the four allegories (of which copies are in the museum’s front garden).
