Rebeca Matte Bello

Matte was exposed to many intellectuals of Chile at the time, including José Victorino Lastarria, Gabriel Jordan Amunátegui, and Alberto Blest Gana.

[2] In 1899, she displayed a statue entitled "Horace" at the Salon in Paris, a work showing the physical and psychological rigidity associated with an epileptic seizure.

Le Figaro describes the artist as a fine talent from the young Latin American school of art and noted her ease and control over the execution of these works.

[2] The Chilean government continued to commission works from Matte and in 1914 she created Heroes de la Concepción,[2] located in Santiago.

The piece, a copy of the original which was commissioned by the government of Chile as a gift to the country of Brazil and is on public display in Rio de Janeiro, was placed outside of the museum in 1930.
