Bronze sculpture installed in Place de l'Hôtel de Ville, one of Rodin's most famous works in Calais.
It is one of Rodin's most famous works! Commissioned by the city to the artist, the bronze sculpture was originally installed in 1895, in front of the Richelieu Park. It was not moved to the Place de l'Hôtel de Ville until after the Second World War. This sculpture immortalizes the sacrifice of six burghers who, in 1347, after a trying siege, gave Edward III, King of England, the keys to the city. Their lives were saved thanks to the intervention of Philippa de Hainaut, the king's wife. The work is strikingly realistic and fascinating!
