Mihai Eminescu statue, Bronze sculpture in Place de la Roumanie, Montreal, Canada.
The bronze statue depicts Romanian poet Mihai Eminescu with raised hands in a reciting position while standing barefoot on a pedestal.
Romanian sculptor Vasile Gorduz created this monument, which was officially inaugurated on September 19, 2004, marking the centenary of Romanian presence in Canada.
The sculpture represents Mihai Eminescu at his final moments, capturing the facial features from his funerary mask in a detailed bronze representation.
The statue stands in a public square accessible to visitors, serving as a meeting point for the Romanian community during cultural celebrations.
The facial expression combines death and transcendence, while the bare feet symbolize the humility of this 19th-century Romanian literary figure.
