Children and Frog

Children and Frog stands on Lanzheronivska Street and depicts several young figures playfully arranged around a frog in naturalistic marble carving. The composition captures movement and joy through detailed poses of the young subjects.

French sculptor Max Blondat created this replica of his original work titled Jeunesse around 1900 using Art Nouveau design principles. The piece introduced early 20th-century artistic style to the public spaces of this growing port city.

The fountain displays a scene of everyday interaction that invites visitors to pause and watch the figures. The playful composition has shaped how this district feels to people who pass through it regularly.

The fountain is located on Lanzheronivska Street and serves as a local landmark, easily reached on foot from most parts of the district. The marble surfaces can become slippery during winter months, so take care when approaching.

The fountain is not an original creation but a marble copy of an already existing artwork by a French artist. This makes it an example of how significant artistic ideas cross geographical boundaries and take on new meaning in different locations.
