Description

Fundado al oeste dentro de la zona del plaza, como homenaje a este importante político e industrial de Lovaina del siglo XIX - fundador de la famosa fábrica de arroz y almidón en Wijgmaal -, benefactor social, mecenas y fundador de diversas instituciones filantrópicas. El monumento fue diseñado por el arquitecto Victor Horta (1861-1947), figura central del art nouveau belga; la escultura es obra del conocido escultor bruselense Pieter Braecke (1858-1938), amigo de Horta. Fue realizado en piedra dura azul, granito y bronce: base escalonada con un amplio zócalo y un alto elemento de pedestal sobre el cual se sitúa el busto esculpido y la inscripción "Edouard Remy - 1813-1896". A cada lado, una evocación social con figuras alegóricas de mujeres, hombres y niños, que de izquierda a derecha representan las siguientes inscripciones: "Bouchée de pain - Ouvriers sans travail - Hospice des incurables - Asile de nuit - Crèche - Oeuvres Scolaires". Alrededor, un jardín parcialmente arbolado delimitado por un bordillo de pizarra con un refinado enrejado de hierro fundido.
