This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Unveiling the Statue of Liberty designed from a painting by Edward Moran shows the iconic monument towering over New York Harbor amidst a flurry of celebration, with smoke from cannon salutes mingling with low-hanging clouds and a fleet of ships crowding the water. In creating this painting, the artist wanted to emphasize the grand scale of this historic event and the shared sense of international pride and liberty between France and America. The colors used are a dramatic interplay of hazy, atmospheric greys and whites, punctuated by the vibrant red, white, and blue of numerous flags and the dark, rhythmic silhouettes of the spectator boats. This pattern is for history buffs and maritime art lovers like myself who appreciate the sweeping energy of a major historical milestone and the masterly way 19th-century painters captured the "bigness" of industrial-age achievements. This specific masterpiece is actually one of the most famous depictions of Lady Liberty’s dedication in 1886! Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. Instead, we use a variety of solid colors to achieve a more realistic effect. Our charts are in black and white only.
