''Appeal to the Great Spirit'' is a 1909 equestrian statue by Cyrus Dallin, at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. It was the last in his four-piece series, ''The Epic of the Indian''. A statuette of it is in the permanent collection of the White House, and decorated President Bill Clinton's Oval Office. ==History== Dallin, a native of Utah, had a large amount of interaction with Native American children while growing up. This provided him with unique insights that he was to call upon while creating this, and other, works. The actual model who posed for the sculpture was Antonio Corsi, an Italian, who modeled for the great painters and sculptors of the era. In 1909, the sculpture was cast in Paris, and won a gold medal for its exhibition in the Paris Salon. On January 23, 1912, it was installed outside the main entrance to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Appeal to the Great Spirit ). See also "Big Bronze Statue by Cyrus Dallin Placed at Museum", ''The Christian Science Monitor'', January 24, 1912, p. 1.〕 A restoration of the Boston version was reversed at Dallin's request because he preferred the light green tones that had developed on the equestrian sculpture over time rather than the typical "statuary brown" patina the conservator applied prior to consulting him.
