''Discovery of America'' (1837–50) is a large marble sculpture group, by Luigi Persico, assembled in front of the east façade of the United States Capitol building. ==History== It was commissioned in 1837, modeled in 1839, and carved in 1840-1843. It was exhibited at the east façade of the United States Capitol, from 1844 until 1958, when it was removed and never restored.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Discovery of America, (sculpture). )〕 After years of protest, in 1958, both ''Discovery'' and another statue of similar nature, ''The Rescue'' by Horatio Greenough, were removed from the east façade in preparation for the building’s extension. They were placed in storage and — without public discussion — never restored.〔Fryd, Vivien Green (1987), (“Two Sculptures for the Capitol: Horatio Greenough's ‘Rescue’ and Luigi Persico's ‘Discovery of America’” ) ''American Art Journal'', Vol. 19, No. 2 (Spring, 1987), pg 93.〕
