I don't know the exact name of the statue, but it evokes to me an oracle trying to read the sky... Does someone know the name of the work ?
Je ne connais pas le titre exact de cette statue, mais elle évoque pour moi un oracle antique essayant de déchiffrer le ciel. Quelqu'un connaît-il le nom de cette oeuvre ?
Versailles, Paris
Update : the name of the statue is "Le Rémouleur" by Giovanni Battista Foggini

Quelle atmosphere...Etonnante représentation...je suis allé vérifier la définition du mot "remouleur"...Personne qui aiguise les ustensiles de cuisine des ménagères...Quant à savoir pourquoi il regarde ce ciel...énigme!

And the oracle said "Is about to rain".
Useless oracle but lovely shot.

Je ne connais pas, mais tu as tout à fait raison, il scrute le ciel d'une façon si intense, c'est étonnant! Il est vraiment dans l'attente d'une réponse!!! Et sa tête ressort très bien sur la partie plus claire des nuages!
Mais j'y pense, vu la couleur du ciel, je pense plutôt qu'il attend les premières gouttes!!!!!

La statue est un bronze de l'artiste Giovanni Battista Foggini , sorti des ateliers des fameux frères Keller. Elle s'intitule "Le Rémouleur", en référence au couteau qu'il est en train d'aiguiser.
Le rémouleur exerçait en effet son activité sur les routes et dans les rues des villages, proposant ses services pour aiguiser couteaux, ciseaux et autres rasoirs.
Rien à voir, donc avec un oracle...
Jolie prise de vue et beau traitement. Bravo !
