ASSOULINE

Book: Rio de Janeiro

With outstretched arms, his gaze cast slightly downwards, clad in millions of soapstone tiles and standing on a pedestal, Christ the Redeemer watches over Rio de Janeiro from his vantage point on Corcovado. With Guanabara Bay in the distance, the statue keeps a watchful eye over the legendary beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana. Passionate, vibrant and colourful, Rio is a city bursting with energy. This energy is palpable during the many celebrations and events that have taken place in the city, including the Summer Olympics, two World Cups, the carnival, and so on. Rio de Janeiro is the birthplace of the expressive samba dance, which perfectly embodies the city’s frenzied rhythms. Size & Fit: Length; 25.4 cm.
