Description
The Luxembourg fox is the work of Michel RODANGE (1827-1876), who was inspired by GOETHE’s “Reineke Fuchs”. Now a national epic, his fable is a satirical description of the political figures of the time, through 14 songs in the Luxembourg language.
The original work, dating from 1932, is a joint creation of the sculptors DEMUTH and GROSBER, in homage to the national poet Michel RODANGE. The stone original of the “Renert” is kept in the Museum of the History of the City of Luxembourg, and was overmoulded in 1981 to give birth to the copy on the Place Guillaume.
