The Monument of Shevchenko, Bronze monument in Shevchenko Garden, Kharkiv, Ukraine
The monument features sixteen bronze figures arranged around a central 16.5-meter-tall statue of the Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko.
Sculptor Matvey Manizer completed this monumental work in 1935, incorporating symbolic representations of characters from Shevchenko's literary compositions.
The sculpture group illustrates different social classes from Ukrainian society, including peasants, workers, soldiers, and intellectuals reading Shevchenko's poetry.
The monument stands at the intersection of Sumska Street and Constitution Square, accessible through multiple public transportation routes.
Each secondary figure in the monument tells its own story through detailed facial expressions and period-accurate clothing from the 19th century.
