Frédéric Chopin by Paul Dubois

The monument features Chopin seated on a rock with his right hand raised, depicting his connection to piano performance through detailed bronze craftsmanship.

Created by sculptor Paul Dubois in 1899 and inaugurated in 1900, the original statue was removed in 1942 during World War II for metal recasting.

The sculpture stands as a tribute to the Polish composer who transformed piano music during his years in Paris in the nineteenth century.

Located in the southern section of Luxembourg Gardens, the monument includes information plaques detailing the composer's achievements and the sculpture's creation.

The current bronze statue, measuring 3.60 meters in height, represents a 1999 donation from the Polish government to replace the original wartime loss.
