The idea of a religious monument in Rio de Janeiro was born in 1858. However, the idea
did not materialize during the Brazilian Empire. It was resumed in 1921, when the
centenary of the Independence of Brazil was approaching. Heitor da Silva Costa was
delegated for the execution of the work, and the statue was made by the French sculptor
Paul Landowski.
The face of the statue was created by the Romanian sculptor Gheorghe Leonida. After
gaining fame in France as a portrait painter, he was included by Paul Landowski in his
team to work on Christ the Redeemer from 1922.
