Monument to Scheurer-Kestner, Marble monument in Jardin du Luxembourg, France
The Monument to Scheurer-Kestner features an obelisk with two marble statues representing Truth and Justice, standing six meters tall in the garden.
Jules Dalou designed this monument in 1899, but after his death in 1902, his students completed the work for its inauguration in 1908.
The monument honors Auguste Scheurer-Kestner, an industrialist and politician who defended Alfred Dreyfus during the significant Dreyfus Affair in France.
Located near the French Senate building, visitors can access this wheelchair-friendly monument during the garden's opening hours from dawn until dusk.
A stone medallion depicting Scheurer-Kestner's profile adorns the monument, while one statue appears naked and the other wears flowing robes.
