Monument to Eugenio d'Ors Rovira, Madrid, Bronze sculpture memorial in Paseo del Prado, Madrid, Spain
The monument includes a fountain, commemorative wall, and bronze figures depicting a woman controlling a creature near the Prado Museum.
The memorial, designed by three artists including Victor d'Ors, pays tribute to philosopher Eugenio d'Ors and was inaugurated in July 1963.
The granite wall contains inscriptions of philosophical aphorisms and a stone medallion featuring an effigy of the celebrated Spanish writer.
The monument stands at the intersection of cultural landmarks, positioned between the Casa Sindical building and the Prado Museum entrance.
The bronze sculptural group features an unusual composition where a female figure restrains what appears to be a small dragon-like creature.
