About this gallery
This gallery brings together statues and sculptures photographed in France and Spain. In Bordeaux, the Monument aux Girondins, which depicts the triumph of the Republic and of Concord, displays its bronzes: the Spirit of Liberty breaking its chains at the top of the column, and the horses and figures of the fountain. In Niort, bronze dragons watch over passers-by, even in the fog of a winter morning.
In Bilbao, statues of Justice and the Law guard the city hall, while marble and stone sculptures lift their faces to the sky. In a garden in Gijón, a statue of a woman is slowly covered in moss among the trees; in Santiago de Compostela, a statue crowned with a star overlooks the rooftops. Add to these a First World War soldier on a war memorial, the replica of the Statue of Liberty in Poitiers and a Belle Époque bas-relief in Niort.
