Discoverin' the Ancient Prospero, the Charmin' Sorcerer, in NYC's own Central

Situated amidst the lively hubbub of Manhattan, Central Park holds a hidden treasure - an old-timey bronze statue of Prospero, a wizard from Shakespeare’s play The Tempest. Melvin Hebald crafted this piece of art back in 1966, and it soon found a restin' spot in front of the Delacorte Theater. George T. Delacorte, Jr, a collector of fine things, added our wise old Prospero to his collection in the same year. Nowadays, Prospero shares his eternal wisdom with the Romeo n' Juliet statue, both crafted in the same year. Time has been kind to our elderly Prospero, who’s seen more than his fair share of trials on his path to renown. So hop aboard as we take you on a speedy spin through a brief history of this fabled transformation.
