The Jeanneke Pis: Modern Art in Brussels
Jeanneke Pis Fountain is located in Brussels, Belgium. The fountain depicts a girl wearing pigtails, squatting while humorously relieving herself. Lies on his feet and seems very taken with the time. The Jeanneke Pis Fountain, like Manneken Pis, appropriately exhibits a universal human experience, which never fails to entertain your visitors and humor. It was created in 1985 by Denis Adrien Debouvire and is much more contemporary than its source brother, the Manneken Pis. Jeanneke is an accompanying garden statue to the Manneken Pis Fountain, which is the Belgium's national monument. The primary Manneken Pis Fountain was constructed in 1142, but there have been several adaptations since.
Jeanneke Pis Fountain is very small, representing just over five feet tall and stands at the bottom of a blind alley in the district of Brussels Rue des Bouchers. Butcher's street, or Bouchers, is famous for the variety of European beers and wines available that you can taste. In total there are about 2,000 different varieties of beer, wine and vintage spirits served in the areas near the source.
No one knows why he built the Jeanneke Debouvire Pis Fountain. When questioned, he replied only: "loyalty" and refused further comment. Debouvire's refusal to elaborate created an immediate legend Jeanneke Pis and became a visit must for tourists and locals. Many hypothesis that Jeanneke Pis Fountain was made to attract more tourists to the street near Butcher, who did. But others say with a smile that Jeanneke is the result of and pays tribute to women's liberation movement. Today, Butcher Street and the Trevi Jeanneke Pis are two of the most Brussel more local visits only to the Manneken Pis.
Even after two decades, however, the Source of Jeanneke Pis has not been accepted by the city of Brussels. The Belgium government deliberately leaves out the official tour guide. Despite prompting Jeanneke design, The outdoor fountain is definitely unique and has not yet been replicated elsewhere. One can, however, find her image on postcards and a variety of items souvenirs sold throughout the city. Jeanneke Pis Fountain is a demonstration of the Brussels European relaxed attitude-one of which receives clients from around the world with open arms and a kind smile.
