The Bulls, Cast iron sculpture in Georges-Brassens Park, Paris, France
The Bulls are two cast iron sculptures standing face to face at the entrance of Georges-Brassens Park, depicting the powerful bodies of these animals with precise anatomical detail. Both figures display natural postures and showcase the skilled metalwork of 19th-century French craftsmanship.
Created by French sculptor Isidore Bonheur in 1865, the sculptures were later installed as a permanent monument in the park. They are remnants from when this location served as a working center for livestock trading and processing.
The sculptures mark the site of a former cattle market and slaughterhouse, connecting the modern park to the industrial heritage of the 15th arrondissement. They remind visitors of when this neighborhood was a center for livestock trading and processing.
The sculptures sit at the main entrance of the park and are easy to find when arriving. The site is accessible on foot, and visiting on mild weather days allows you to explore the surrounding pathways and gardens comfortably.
The bulls were cast at the Fonderie du Val d'Osne, a renowned foundry famous for technical innovation during the 19th century. The casting process used then was a cutting-edge technique that made producing large metal artworks possible.
