EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating detail of the iconic "Le Mannequin Pis" bronze statue by Jerome Duquesnoy the Elder. The sculpture, created in 1619, is located in Brussels, Belgium and has become one of the city's most beloved landmarks. In this particular image, we are drawn to a mischievous boy or putto who stands proudly atop the fountain statue. With an impish grin on his face, he engages in a timeless act that both shocks and amuses viewers - urinating into the water below. The artist's attention to detail is evident as every curve and contour of the boy's body is expertly rendered in bronze. The playfulness captured in this moment brings life to what could have been a static piece of art. The juxtaposition between innocence and irreverence adds depth to our understanding of human nature. It reminds us that even within traditional art forms like statues, there can be room for humor and subversion. As we gaze upon this intriguing photograph from Bridgeman Images' collection, we cannot help but marvel at how such a simple act can provoke such strong emotions. Whether it elicits laughter or contemplation about societal norms, "Le Mannequin Pis" continues to captivate audiences centuries after its creation.
