Barcelona: Dr Robert Monument (1910)

Sources

English language sources on this work seem to be rather scant. As for all Barcelona monuments, the Art Públic site is the essential online source. In addition, I have used the following:

• A handy summary of the life is given on the Sitges website, and the fortunes of the statue, derived from Art Públic, are recorded on the Catalan blog xino xano per Bcn
• An excellent paper by Santiago Izquierdo Ballester, 'Las políticas de memoria histórica en Barcelona: el monumento a Dr Robert' (see below)
• Stéphane Michonneau, 'Un lieu de mémoire barcelonais: le monument au docteur Robert', Revue d'histoire moderne et contemporaine, 41:2 (1994), 269-89, available on JSTOR
• For high-quality photos, see the webpage by van der Krogt
• On the Catalan race speech, there is this (apparently partisan) account on the indymedia site

I have not yet read Ballester's doctoral thesis, Bartomeu Robert i Yarzábal (1842-1902): Medicina i Compromís Cívic.
