Le Rêve du Poète, Marble sculpture in Jardin de la Nouvelle-France, Paris, France.
Le Rêve du Poète is a marble work located in the Jardin de la Nouvelle-France in Paris, carved entirely from a single massive stone block. The composition features figures surrounded by ancient ruins, all crafted from solid marble.
Sculptor Alphonse Emmanuel de Moncel de Perrin created this work in 1910, having presented it at the French Artists Salons in 1905 and 1907. The work resulted from an extended development process spanning several years before its final completion.
The monument honors French poet Alfred de Musset and includes symbolic elements like an owl perched on a ledge. These details reference the romantic themes found in his literary works.
The work stands at the intersection of Avenue Franklin Roosevelt and Cours la Reine, easily reached from the Champs-Élysées-Clemenceau metro station. Its location in a park setting makes it a pleasant spot to visit, especially when exploring the area on foot.
The work includes a group depicting love with two embracing figures, reflecting romantic ideals central to the composition's overall aesthetic. This affectionate portrayal celebrates personal connection and universal human bonds.
