Galatea, Bronze sculpture in Tuileries Garden, France
Roy Lichtenstein created a bronze sculpture named Galatea that stands tall among the trees and pathways of the historic Tuileries Garden in Paris.
The sculpture, inaugurated in 1990, marks a modern addition to the Tuileries Garden, which originated as Queen Catherine de Medici's private retreat in the 16th century.
Galatea represents the integration of American pop art into French classical garden design, merging contemporary artistic expression with traditional European aesthetics.
Visitors can find the sculpture while walking through the central part of Tuileries Garden between the Louvre Museum and Place de la Concorde.
The bronze figure demonstrates Lichtenstein's signature comic book style transferred into three-dimensional form, contrasting with the garden's classical sculptures.
