Description

Chromed Bronze Sculpture by Lorenzo E. Ghiglieri

Passage to Gold - 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. He created artworks for U.S. presidents, international dignitaries, and spiritual leaders. His legacy lies in his ability to bring motion and life into bronze, capturing the nobility of wildlife, the soul of historical moments, and the spirit of man’s journey.


Collectible Legacy

Passage to Gold is not just a sculpture—it is a fine art investment. Each piece cast by Foundry Michelangelo is a testament to Ghiglieri’s craftsmanship and vision. With its hand-applied patina and polychrome finish, this limited-edition bronze is a rare opportunity for collectors seeking meaningful, story-driven art.

Whether displayed in a gallery, private collection, or corporate space, Passage to Gold stands as a powerful symbol of human resilience and artistic mastery.
