Summary

| Description |
Nederlands: De vier gietijzeren standbeelden stellen de vier jaargetijden voor. Ze werden gegoten bij de beroemde Parijse gieterij Societé des Fonderies du Val d'Osne. Ze staan op sokkels van Naamse steen, die Matthijs van Roggen (1863-1909) maakte. De geschilderde beelden stellen respectievelijk vanaf het Keizer Karelplein de godinnen Flora (met uitbottende tak, lente), Ceres (met korenaren, zomer), Pomona (met druiventros, herfst) en Vesta (met vuurpot, winter) voor. De vier godinnen hebben min of meer dezelfde klassieke lichaamshouding, hetzelfde opgestoken haar en dezelfde klassieke gewaden. In 1889 werden ze aan de stad geschonken door twee plaatselijke verenigingen: het Baron Paulus Straalmanfonds (opgericht in 1826) en de Vereniging tot Verfraaiing van Nijmegen en Omstreken (opgericht in 1879). De beelden werden gegoten naar een ontwerp van de Franse beeldhouwer Mathurin Moreau. In de jaren 1960 werden de beelden naar het Hunnerpark verplaatst. Sinds 2013 is het plantsoen in ere hersteld en zijn de beelden teruggeplaatst.
English: The four cast iron statues represent the four seasons. They were cast at the famous Parisian foundry Societé des Fonderies du Val d'Osne. They stand on pedestals of Naamse steen, which was designed by Matthijs van Roggen (1863-1909). The painted statues represent from the Keizer Karelplein the goddesses Flora (with budding branch, spring), Ceres (with ears of corn, summer), Pomona (with bunch of grapes, autumn) and Vesta (with firepot, winter). The four goddesses have more or less the same classical posture, the same hair and the same classical robes.
In 1889 they were donated to the city by two local associations: the Baron Paulus Straalman Fund (established in 1826) and the Association for the Embellishment of Nijmegen and environs (founded in 1879). The sculptures were cast to a design by the French sculptor Mathurin Moreau. In the 1960s the sculptures were moved to the Hunnerpark. Since 2013, the park has been restored. |
