Albert 1er, Bronze statue in Saint-Martin Gardens, Monaco.
Albert 1er is a bronze statue in Saint-Martin Gardens depicting Prince Albert I dressed as a sailor gripping a ship's helm. The figure shows him wearing an anorak and hat, positioned firmly at the steering wheel like an experienced navigator.
The memorial honors Prince Albert I, who ruled from 1889 to 1922 and dedicated his life to marine research. He founded the Oceanographic Institute in 1906, a center that advanced scientific exploration of the sea.
The statue honors Prince Albert's deep connection to the sea by depicting him in sailor's clothing, reflecting his passion for ocean research. Visitors see in this representation a memorial to someone who devoted his life to scientific exploration of the oceans.
The statue is located in Saint-Martin Gardens and is easily accessible on foot with clear views from various angles. The area is open and offers seating if you want to take a break or view the artwork from different perspectives.
The artwork depicts Albert not in royal garments but in practical work clothing as a scientist and sailor. This choice emphasizes that his legacy lies less in monarchy than in his contributions to oceanography.
