Statue de Bernard de Jussieu

Statue de Bernard de Jussieu, Marble statue in Parc de la Tête d'Or, Lyon, France.

The statue of Bernard de Jussieu is a marble figure by Pierre Aubert, erected in 1892 in the Parc de la Tête d'Or. Jussieu, a botanist of the Jardin des Plantes in Paris, is shown seated, holding a plant specimen in his hand. The monument stands on a stone base along one of the park's walking paths.

The marble statue of Bernard de Jussieu by Pierre Aubert was inaugurated in 1892 in the Parc de la Tête d'Or. Bernard de Jussieu (1699–1777) was a Lyon-born botanist who laid out the Trianon gardens at Versailles and whose family gave botany the Jussieu classification system. The monument honours a native son of the city.

The statue honours Bernard de Jussieu, a botanist born in Lyon in 1699 who reorganised the Trianon gardens at Versailles and whose family gave three generations of plant classifiers. It stands in the Parc de la Tête d'Or, near the botanical garden and greenhouses, so the setting echoes his subject.

The memorial is located near the park's large greenhouses and is accessible via several well-marked walking paths. Walk from the main park areas and follow the paths naturally or ask staff at the greenhouses for directions to nearby landmarks.

The statue stands near the Parc de la Tête d'Or's main entrance on Place Général-Leclerc, not on the park island. Its pedestal carries a bronze relief portrait, and the marble figure was carved by Pierre Aubert, who signed the work in 1892.
