Flore, Bronze statue with golden finish in the 16th arrondissement, Paris, France.
This bronze sculpture features a golden coating that has partially worn over time, revealing the underlying bronze material and showcasing Marcel Gimond's detailed craftsmanship in allegorical representation.
Installed in 1937 for the Universal Exhibition in Paris, this statue was part of the decorative program for the new Palais de Chaillot, replacing the old Trocadéro Palace.
The statue depicts Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers and spring, representing renewal and natural beauty in classical mythology that influenced French public art of the period.
Located at coordinates 48.8625493, 2.2882606 on the Parvis des Droits de l'Homme, the statue provides visitors with excellent photographic opportunities and views of the Eiffel Tower.
Marcel Gimond studied Latin and Greek before becoming a sculptor, and this classical education influenced his choice to represent mythological figures like Flora in his artistic work.
