Amazing statues

We regularly encounter them in our streets, in parks or in the squares of our cities. These are the statues, these works in relief, sculpted or molded which represent a living or imaginary being. Most of them do not deserve attention to their aesthetic qualities. But some, on the contrary, push the boundaries of the genre and demonstrate quite surprising creativity. The photographers from the Hemis.fr agency have put together an anthology of the most incredible statues that it is possible to observe on the four continents. Enough to freeze you in astonishment... like statues!
