The Sower, Bronze monument in Günthersburgpark, Frankfurt, Germany
The Sower is a bronze figure in Günthersburgpark that depicts a farmer scattering seeds in motion. The statue captures the man in a powerful stride with his arm extended forward.
The Belgian artist Constantin Meunier created this bronze sculpture in 1890 as industry was beginning to overtake agriculture. The work shows Meunier's interest in preserving the lives of workers through art.
The figure honors physical labor and shows how artists of that time portrayed the daily work of farmers. It reflects the respect that society held for manual craftsmanship.
The monument sits in the park and is accessible via paved pathways that accommodate wheelchairs easily. The best time to visit is during daylight hours to see the details of the bronze clearly.
Meunier created multiple versions of this composition, but few have remained in their original settings. The Frankfurt version holds special significance because it has occupied its location for over a century.
