Admiral David Glasgow Farragut 1879-80; cast 1910 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American This bust derives from a study Saint-Gaudens made for his first major commission, the Farragut Monument, unveiled in New York Citys Madison Square in 1881. The statue commemorated the Civil Wars most celebrated naval commander, Admiral David Glasgow Farragut (1801-1870), who earned glory for the 1862 capture of New Orleans and his victory at the Battle of Mobile Bay in 1864. During that battle, he issued his famous command, “Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!” Here, Farraguts furrowed brow, squinting eyes, and resolute mouth exemplify the richly modeled style for which Saint-Gaudens is renowned.. Admiral David Glasgow Farragut 12002
