Bronze Sculptures of Characters from J. Rozentāls’ Painting

Kuldīgas iela 2, Saldus, Saldus novads

Honouring the 155th birthday of Janis Rozentāls, seven life-size bronze sculptures depicting characters from his diploma painting “After The Service” were placed on the stairs at St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran church. The sculptures represent various social classes, icluding Rozentāls’ parents – his mother Lavize and his father Mikelis. It is known that the artist spent many Sundays by the church, sketching the local people.

The author of the sculptures is sculptor Sandis Aispurs.
