Statue de Monseigneur Freppel, Bronze statue in Place Sainte-Croix, Angers, France
The statue portrays Monseigneur Freppel standing upright in his episcopal attire, with his right hand raised in a gesture of blessing toward onlookers.
Charles-Émile Freppel, appointed Bishop of Angers in 1870, served as both a religious leader and deputy for Brest until his death in December 1891.
The monument represents the intersection of religious authority and political influence in 19th-century France through its placement and ceremonial design.
The statue stands in Place Sainte-Croix, a central square in Angers that connects to multiple pedestrian streets and commercial establishments.
Artist Evers completed this bronze sculpture in 1689, incorporating intricate details that reflect the ecclesiastical fashion and sculptural techniques of the period.
