Bust of Général de Reffye, Bronze sculpture in Tarbes, France.
This bronze bust stands in an outdoor setting near a fountain at Cours Reffye in Tarbes. The sculpture was created in 1883 by Henri Nelli to commemorate a French general who played an important role in the city's military development.
General de Reffye founded a major military facility in Tarbes in 1871 that shaped the city's industrial growth. The monument was erected about a decade later as an early recognition of his contributions.
The sculpture shows how Tarbes honors its military leader through public art, and how such monuments reflect the city's connection to its past figures.
The monument is easy to visit outdoors and sits in a central location within the city. Visitors should expect exposure to the elements since the site has no shelter.
The original bronze was melted down during World War II, but the city later received a replacement from another location. This second version was then placed at the Cours Reffye, standing as a reminder of wartime losses and restoration.
