St. Petersburg of Osip Mandelstam

In the courtyard of the Twelve Collegia building of St. Petersburg State University, a monument to Osip and Nadezhda Mandelstam has been unveiled. The composition, created by Dutch sculptor Hanneke de Munck, is called "Monument to Love." It is a bronze allegorical bowl about three meters high, from which a tree rises upwards. The poet Osip Mandelstam and his wife, Nadezhda, with whom he was often separated, are reunited, as if floating above this bowl in the air: angel wings are on their backs, and the poet holds sheets of manuscripts in his hands. The pedestal for the Mandelstam couple was made by St. Petersburg sculptor Khachatur Bely.
