I stumbled across this somewhat surreal sculpture when walking through Le Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris in 2006 with a friend. The Garden was incepted by Queen Marie de Medici during the 17th century. It would have to be one of my favourite parks.
Hannerz's Venus is siutated in the Garden is at the Medici Fountain, which has a rich history itself. The Fountain is a 19th century permanent sculpture by Auguste Ottin, (1811–1890) French academic sculptor and recipient of the decoration of the Legion of Honor.
