Frédéric Chopin by Paul Dubois

Frédéric Chopin by Paul Dubois, Bronze sculpture in Jardin du Luxembourg, Paris, France.

Frédéric Chopin by Paul Dubois is a bronze bust, not a seated figure, set on a granite pedestal in the Jardin du Luxembourg. The composer wears a high collar with a knotted cravat and a cloak draped across his chest; the pedestal reads "A Frédéric Chopin 1810–1849" above a carved profile facing left.

The monument was erected in 1901 on the initiative of the musicians F.-Henry Peru and Jules Massenet, and Georges Dubois was its sculptor. The bust disappeared during the Second World War. A new bust by Bolesław Syrewicz was installed in 1999. The painter Henri Rousseau depicted Dubois's monument in a painting.

The monument was initiated by the musicians F.-Henry Peru and Jules Massenet, and the original bust was by Georges Dubois. The bust disappeared during the Second World War; the present bronze bust, set on a granite pedestal, was made by Bolesław Syrewicz and installed in 1999. The painter Henri Rousseau depicted Dubois's monument in a painting.

The bust stands in the Jardin du Luxembourg, in the 6th arrondissement; the garden's main entrance on Rue de Médicis is the closest approach on foot. The monument is a bust on a granite pedestal, not a seated figure, so look for it at eye level among the trees. The garden is open during daylight hours.

The bust seen today is not the 1901 original by Georges Dubois: that one disappeared during the Second World War. A new bronze bust by Polish sculptor Bolesław Syrewicz was installed in 1999. The painter Henri Rousseau made a picture of Dubois's monument.
