The work, which depicts the Iroquois leader Hiawatha, is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.[1] DescriptionAugustus Saint-Gaudens sculpted his interpretation of the famed Iroquois leader between 1872 and 1874. He was inspired to create the work by The Song of Hiawatha, an 1855 epic poem by poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Longfellow's poem was well received by American audiences, and the epic work resulted in a rekindling of interest in Hiawatha and the waxing days of the Iroquois Confederacy. The poem is itself reflected on Saint-Gauden's sculpture, as the line “pondering, musing in the forest /On the welfare of his people/On the smooth Bark of a birch tree/Painted many shapes and figures” is inscribed on the base of the work, and said exert is directly reflected in the sculpture's pose.[1] References1. ^1 {{Cite web|url=https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/12004|title=metmuseum.org|website=www.metmuseum.org|access-date=2018-09-24}} {{Augustus Saint-Gaudens}}{{Met-stub}} 4 : 1874 sculptures|Sculptures by Augustus Saint-Gaudens|Sculptures of the Metropolitan Museum of Art|Sculptures of Native Americans |
