George Delacorte (1893-1991)
Shakespeare's shipwrecked literary
characters Prospero and his daughter
Miranda comes to life in this signature
bronze statue of the Tempest situated
on the lawn of the Delacorte Theater
to the left of the ticket booth in Central Park.
As the strong storm winds swirl their
garments and Miranda's hair blows
forward, Prospero prepares a magic
spell with his outstretched arm.
