Fame of Agriculture, Bronze sculpture on Pont Alexandre III, France

Emmanuel Frémiet created this monumental sculpture in 1900 as part of the decorative elements adorning the newly constructed Pont Alexandre III bridge.
The sculpture represents agricultural importance in French society, standing as a symbol of national progress during the early twentieth century.
Visitors can reach the sculpture by taking Metro lines 8 or 13 to Invalides station and walking north toward the Seine River.
