The Creation
After a number of designs for the statue including a Cross, Jesus Christ holding a globe, and a Pedestal, the concept of a Christ with open arms was finally chosen. French sculptor Paul Landowski created the Christ Redeemer out of reinforced concrete rather than steel and used soapstone for the outer layers. After nine years of work, the monument officially opened on October 12, 1931. -
