Monument to José del Perojo y Figueras, by Facundo Fierro, in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

An international database of public monuments records the monument to José del Perojo y Figueras in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, attributing it to Facundo Fierro and dating it to approximately the year 2000. A second local source specializing in public sculpture in Gran Canaria locates the monument in Plaza Padre Hilario, at the corner of Calle Perojo and Calle Murga, and concurs on the date. The agreement between both independent sources reinforces the attribution.

The bronze bust, also documented in the artist's own sculpture portfolio during a clay modeling phase prior to casting, is part of the recognition of José del Perojo y Figueras, a 19th-century journalist, philosopher, and politician from Gran Canaria, in a location that shares its name with Calle Perojo, for whose architectural complex Fierro would carry out a chromatic intervention a few years later.
