BRENES TENCIO, Guillermo. PRODUCING THE IMAGE OF COSTA RICA'S NATIONAL HERO: THE EMBLEMATIC ICONOGRAPHY OF JUAN SANTAMARÍA. hist.crit. [online]. 2009, n.37, pp.26-53. ISSN 0121-1617.
This article presents an iconographic reading (interpretation) of Costa Rica's national hero, Juan Santamaría. It examines two types of visual representation: the bronze statue of Juan Santamaría as a soldier, designed by the French sculptor, Aristide Onésime Croisy (1840-1899); and the oil painting, La Quema del Mesón, by the Costa Rican artist, Enrique Echandi Montero (1866-1959).
