Timiryazev monument in Moscow
Timiryazev monument in Moscow, Memorial statue in Presnensky District, Russia
The monument features a granite sculpture of scientist Kliment Timiryazev wearing a Cambridge doctoral mantle on a geometric pedestal with microscope sculptures.
Soviet sculptor Sergey Merkurov created this monument in 1923 as part of Lenin's plan for monumental propaganda, replacing a demolished building at Tverskoy Boulevard.
The pedestal bears the inscription 'K. A. Timiryazev - warrior and thinker' along with a scientific diagram showing light's effect on plant assimilation.
The monument stands at the end of Tverskoy Boulevard, marking an intersection between scientific achievement and public education in Moscow's urban landscape.
The sculptor used natural imperfections in Swedish granite blocks to determine the statue's elongated proportions, following methods of ancient artisans.
