Fontaine de l'Avril, Bronze fountain in Square du Palais Galliera, Paris, France
The Fontaine de l'Avril features a circular stone basin supporting a bronze pillar with a nude female figure adorned with flowers at its center.
Pierre Roche created this fountain in 1906, which was later installed in 1916 within the garden of the former private palace turned fashion museum.
The fountain's central bronze pillar displays an inscription celebrating April with words emphasizing the connection between spring and Parisian public art.
Visitors can reach the fountain by taking metro line 9 to Iéna station and entering the square from either avenue du Président-Wilson or avenue Pierre-Ier-de-Serbie.
The sculpture combines Art Nouveau style with classical elements through its representation of a flower-crowned female figure emerging from a geometric bronze structure.
