An outdoor bronze sculpture of Christopher Columbus by Jeronimo Suñol is installed in Central Park in Manhattan, New York.

[1] In 1892, the Statue of Christopher Columbus was donated to Central Park by the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society in commemoration of the 400th anniversary of his arrival in the Americas.

The statue replicates one made by Jeronimo Suñol in 1892,[2] located at the Plaza de Colon, in Madrid.

The sculpture depicts the explorer standing with outstretched arms, looking towards the heavens in gratitude for his successful voyage.

[3][4] In August 2017, the statue was vandalized with red paint and graffiti reading "Hate will not be tolerated" and '#somethingscoming".
