Jacques Marquette is a statue by Gaetano Trentanove of Jacques Marquette, the most well known version being the 1896 marble one installed in the National Statuary Hall Collection in the Capitol in Washington D.C.. It is one of two statues donated by the state of Wisconsin.[1]
The work was accepted into the senate in 1896.[2]
Another version of the statue is the 1897 bronze casting located in Pere Marquette Park, Marquette, Michigan which was cast in Florence, Italy and includes two bas reliefs set in the sandstone base.[3]
In 1909 a third version was dedicated in Marquette Park on Mackinac Island Michigan.[4] A plaster version of the statue is located at the State Historical Society of Wisconsin.[5]
