These prisoners were taken from the pedestal of the Victory Square statue, representing the country defeated by the Treaty of Nijmegen (1679). Everyone expressed different reactions to imprisonment: resistance, hope, resignation, or sadness. They were created by Martin Desjardins, a famous Dutch sculptor active during the reign of Louis XIV. Four defeated countries: symbolizing the four countries that were defeated when the Treaty of Nijmegen was signed. Each represents an era of humanity and different attitudes towards imprisonment.
