The Bulls, Cast iron sculpture in Georges-Brassens Park, Paris, France
Two iron bulls face each other at the entrance of Georges-Brassens Park, displaying precise anatomical details and natural postures of these powerful animals.
Created by French sculptor Isidore Bonheur in 1865, the bulls were originally exhibited at the Paris Salon before being commissioned for a monumental installation.
The sculptures mark the location of a former cattle market and slaughterhouse, connecting the modern park to the industrial heritage of the 15th arrondissement.
Visitors can find these sculptures at the main entrance of Georges-Brassens Park, accessible via the Porte de la Plaine metro station in Paris.
The cast iron material and manufacturing process by the Fonderie du Val d'Osne represent the peak of 19th-century French industrial artistry.
