In context

Choose Christ the Redeemer for comparisons of monumental sculpture rather than tower architecture. Its 38 m height, 28 m horizontal span reference, and 1931 event date show a wide, figure-led silhouette that is more meaningfully compared with large statues than with skyscrapers or broadcast towers.
