Romanian carver Gheorghe Leonida chiseled the face. Built during 1922 to 1931, the statue is 98 feet (30 metres) tall, other than its 26 feet (8 metres) pedestal. The arms of the statue span 92 feet (28 metres) wide. It is built by soapstone and fortified concrete. The statue differs greatly from its initial design, as the original plan was a huge Jesus Christ with a cross and a globe in the other. Despite the plan organisers initially approved the design, it than modified to the Christ the Redeemer statue of today, with the arms wide open.
