Sculptural composition "Egyptian Pyramid", Bronze sculpture in Gorky Park, Taganrog, Russia.
This is a bronze sculpture in Gorky Park featuring three animals stacked in a pyramid shape, each representing a character from a well-known story. The figures are crafted in detail and positioned together as a single unified composition within the park.
The sculpture was created by a local artist and placed in the park in 2008. Its installation coincided with a celebration marking an important day for schools and culture in Russia.
The sculpture brings characters from a Chekhov story into public space, connecting the writer's literary world with daily city life. When you walk past, you notice how the three animals are arranged together and recognize them as figures from a beloved Russian tale.
The sculpture is located in the central park of the city and easy to reach on foot. Visit during daytime when light brings out the details and textures of the bronze figures clearly.
The bronze figures were created using a specialized casting technique that is traditional in metal sculpture work. The process involved making detailed wax models first, which were then used as patterns for pouring the molten bronze.
