Day, Marble sculpture in Jardin des Grands Explorateurs, France
The Day sculpture stands tall in white marble, representing the passage of time through its refined human form and fluid lines.
Jean-Joseph Perraud created this masterwork during the 19th century, reflecting the period's interest in classical forms and natural symbolism.
The sculpture forms part of a collection of public artworks in Paris that combine French artistic tradition with philosophical contemplation.
Located near the Luxembourg Gardens, the sculpture remains accessible throughout the year and benefits from natural lighting conditions.
The sculpture's position in a garden dedicated to explorers creates an intersection between artistic expression and historical navigation themes.
