Farnese Flora, Stone statue in Tuileries Garden, France
The Farnese Flora is a stone statue standing about 2.15 meters tall in the Tuileries Garden of Paris. It belongs to the decorative elements of this central garden and has a classical human form with details that portray the Roman goddess of flowers.
The original of this statue dates from antiquity, but became popular in 19th-century neoclassical gardens, where it served as an inspiration. A stone replica was later created and added to the collection of the Tuileries Garden.
The statue depicts Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers, and continues the long French tradition of garden sculpture. One recognizes here the neoclassical carving style that has been practiced for centuries in large estates and public gardens.
The statue is located in the central area of the garden and is easy to reach on foot, as it stands among other sculptures and fountains. Access is possible during the normal opening hours of the garden without any special arrangements.
The work was captured in a photographic record from 1890, showing how long it has been present in the garden. These old photographs give visitors a glimpse into the history of garden sculptures from that time to today.
