Samuel Eliot Morison Statue

The Samuel Eliot Morison Statue in Boston, MA is a prominent public art installation located on the Commonwealth Avenue Mall. Created by renowned sculptor Penelope Jencks, the statue depicts Samuel Eliot Morison, a respected historian and naval officer, wearing a casual windbreaker and baseball hat while perched on a natural granite boulder. The sculpture is accompanied by a circular platform featuring bronze casts of shells, starfish, and crabs, evoking the atmosphere of the ocean. Etched into the rock beside the statue is Morison's inspiring counsel to young writers. With over 50 books to his name, Morison was a prolific author and winner of two Pulitzer prizes, known for his meticulous research and firsthand experiences. While Morison's contributions to historical literature are widely recognized, his work has also faced criticism for its treatment of American slavery. In recent years, efforts have been made to address these concerns and promote public conversations about the complex legacies of historical figures. The Friends of the Public Garden, in collaboration with the City, is currently undertaking a project to illuminate all the statues on the Commonwealth Avenue Mall, with the Samuel Eliot Morison Statue being the first to be lit. This initiative not only enhances safety in the neighborhood but also highlights the significance of the nine distinct pieces of public art and the individuals they commemorate.Generated from the website
