Cariatides du préau - Jardin Public

Jardin public, Place de la Mairie, 19160 Neuvic

In 1937, the local council decided to create a garden as an extension of the fountain: the complex comprises a covered terrace, a pond and a fountain. The reinforced concrete courtyard is decorated with a mosaic made from fragments of earthenware (on the platform) and two pillars sculpted by Proszynsky. They depict a peasant woman lifting a little girl who is holding books in her arms, and a peasant man supporting a boy who is standing up to reach for the fruits of knowledge. This is an allegory of Education.
