Rizal Monument in Switzerland, before it was transfered to Manila, c.a 1910
"Rizal Monument made from Switzerland"
Sculpted by Richard Kissling.
In mid 1905, Kissling read an ad about an international competition initiated by the Philippine government to design the monument of Filipino national hero Jose Rizal. He then began his work on the scale model of the design, he later would name and submit as "Motto Stella"(Guiding Star).
He won 2nd prize, unfortunately Nicoli an Italian who won first prize was not able to fulfill the necessary requirements to seal the contract and due to other vague reasons, the commissioned work was awarded to Kissling.
