Gheorghe Leonida
Gheorghe Leonida (1892?-93 - 1942) was a Romanian sculptor known for creating the head of ''Christ the Redeemer'', the statue of Jesus Christ in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
==Biography==
Gheorghe Leonida was born in Galați, in 1892 (1893 according to other sources). Coming from an influential middle-class family, he was the penultimate among 11 children. Among his siblings was the pioneering female engineer Elisa Leonida Zamfirescu and the also the engineer Dimitrie Leonida.
When his father, a career officer, was forced to leave Galați, Gheorghe graduated from high school in Bucharest, where he then continued his studies at the department of sculpture of the Conservatory of Fine Arts. He made his debut in 1915, at a national salon. After fighting in World War I, Leonida continued art studies in Italy for three years, and his work received prizes in Rome (for the work ''Reveil'') and Paris (''Le Diable'').
In 1925, he moved to Paris, where Paul Landowski had just received the commission to sculpt the ''Christ the Redeemer'' statue. Leonida was hired by Landowski to sculpt the statue's head. The work began in 1926, and was completed in 1931. Returning home, Leonida continued sculpting. He died in the spring of 1942, falling off the roof of his family home in Bucharest, while picking linden flowers.〔 His works can be seen at Bran Castle, the National Museum of Art and other major museums in Bucharest.
