Urbici Soler (Urbici Soler i Manonelles)[1] (1890–1953) was an American sculptor and art educator. He is remembered chiefly for Cristo Rey ('Christ the King'), a monumental statue of Jesus on the cross atop Mount Cristo Rey in the El Paso suburb of Sunland Park, New Mexico, which he completed in 1939 and which is a site of Roman Catholic pilgrimage.
