Spring, Stone statue in Tuileries Garden, France
The Spring sculpture by François Barois stands near the western basin of the Tuileries Garden, representing an allegory of seasonal renewal through its marble form.
Created in 1696, this sculpture initially adorned the gardens of Versailles before being relocated to the Tuileries Garden in 1722 as part of a royal collection.
The statue embodies classical French artistic traditions, depicting themes from Roman mythology through the figure of Vertumnus, god of seasons and transformation.
The current statue displayed in the garden is a precise 1993 replica measuring 2.92 meters, while the original resides in the Louvre Museum for preservation.
The sculpture combines elements of both Vertumnus and Pomona narratives, reflecting the garden's transformation from royal property to public cultural space.
