Where is a nice place near Angers in France?

Who sculpted the statue on the fountain in Place Lafayette Angers France?

  • Answer:

    The statue which is the centrepiece of the fountain on Place Lafayette, Angers in France was sculpted by Gualtiero Busato. The running figure holds a piece of writing in his right hand - he is a messenger bringing news of great importance. He is the messenger of war. Around the base of the fountain are other pieces of writing, extracts from Shakespeare, Baudelaire and other great writers. The figure is the subject of a collage/painting by Kate Gritton which was recently exhibited in Angers. The painting, entitled 'The Messenger' combines collage with oil painting in a semi-abstract work full of tension and drama.
