Li Tore, Bronze sculpture at Terrasses d'Avroy, Liège, Belgium
The bronze statue shows a tamer with a bull, expressing the relationship between human strength and animal power through detailed craftsmanship.
Created in 1881 by Belgian sculptor Léon Mignon, Li Tore received a gold medal at the Paris Salon for its technical execution and artistic merit.
During World War II, local students protected the sculpture by concealing it in the cellars of the Académie, making it a symbol of resistance.
The sculpture stands in an open public space at the Terrasses d'Avroy, accessible through multiple pedestrian paths and public transportation routes.
The bronze figure became a city mascot, leading to the adoption of Liège's motto 'Liège, forcer l'avenir' meaning 'Liège, make the future happen'.
