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 renowned Dutch sculptor who was active during the reign of Louis XIV. Four defeated countries: symbolizing the four countries that were defeated at the time of the signing of the Treaty of Nijmegen. Each represents a different era of humanity and a different attitude towards imprisonment.
