Statue de Pierre le Grand, Russian imperial monument in Antwerp, Belgium
The bronze sculpture features Peter the Great standing on a ship-shaped pedestal with a wind rose engraving and two decorative angels.
The monument marks the location where Russian Tsar Peter the Great disembarked during his visit to Antwerp in April 1717.
The pedestal displays inscriptions in both Dutch and Russian languages, symbolizing the diplomatic connections between Russia and Belgium through this commemorative work.
The monument stands 2.5 meters tall and is located opposite St. Michael's Abbey on Kloosterstraat, surrounded by antique stores and book shops.
Georgian sculptor Georgy Frangulyan created this monument in 1998 with funding from Russian banks and support from Belgian Slavicist Emmanuel Waegemans.
