Monument in Valenciennes, France

myminifactory

This impressive war memorial in Valenciennes honors French and Commonwealth soldiers who fought in the Great War. The monument's creators have combined bronze and marble masterfully, resulting in a work that is both awe-inspiring in its grandeur but humble, unassuming, and serene. The sculpture features two figures: a draped woman stands atop the grave of a soldier, conveying a powerful message. The central character might represent France itself, as suggested by the inscription at her feet.
