EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the imposing presence of Woinic, a magnificent steel sculpture of a wild boar that stands as a symbol of the Ardennes region in France. Created by artist Eric Slezniak over the course of ten years, this monumental artwork has become a beloved landmark near Saulces-aux-Tournelles in Grand Est.
The deep blue skies above provide a striking backdrop for Woinic's intricate metalwork and powerful form, emphasizing its significance as both an artistic masterpiece and cultural icon. As visitors traverse the footpath leading to this impressive statue, they are greeted by the sight of this larger-than-life representation of nature's untamed beauty.
In this image captured by Manuel Cohen in 2009, we see Woinic basking in the warm sunlight, casting shadows on the hillside below. The sculpture's sheer size and attention to detail make it a truly awe-inspiring sight for all who encounter it. Whether you're passing through on your way along the motorway or taking a moment to rest at the nearby service area, Woinic is sure to leave a lasting impression on all who behold its majesty.
