Chromed Bronze Sculpture by Lorenzo E. Ghiglieri

A Journey Captured in Bronze

In Passage to Gold, master sculptor Lorenzo E. Ghiglieri evokes the rugged determination of the American frontier. This dynamic work depicts a prospector and his pack mule traversing harsh terrain, an homage to the indomitable spirit of those who braved the wilderness in pursuit of fortune during the Gold Rush era.

The sculpture’s detail is breathtaking—from the sinews of the mule to the grit etched in the prospector’s expression. Ghiglieri doesn’t just sculpt a figure—he sculpts a story. One of hardship, perseverance, and the timeless pull of the American West.

The Artist: Lorenzo E. Ghiglieri

Lorenzo Ghiglieri was a celebrated American sculptor whose works are displayed in the White House, the Vatican and private collections around the world.
