STATUES

Ideas

Put things together

There's a need to organize and group the different types of statues.

Back to Art

What is a statue?

• a type of sculpture.
• in 3 dimensions (full-round) unlike "high-reliefs" and "low-reliefs"
• a medium-sized sculpture that represents a human, a deity or an animal.
• "medium" means equal to or greater than half the natural size (of a human), below this half it is a statuette or a figurine.
• It's possible to classify it by "genre" (ex: nude) and "style" (combination of visual elements, techniques and methods) like classic, renaissance, modern ....

In OpenStreetMap

So it's a bit different.

We have "artwork_type=statue" used for figurative works and "artwork_type=sculpture" which is recommended for non-figurative works

And we have 3 different ways to map the statues because we distinguish between "memorial" ones (small and large) and "non-memorial" ones.

Which give :

- artwork_type=statue + statue=*

- memorial=statue + statue=*

- monument=statue + statue=*

Classification

First we need to avoid having a huge list of statue=* :

- statue=name 1

- statue=name 2

- statue=name 3

- ...

You can imagine with the Hindu pantheon which has 330 million gods !

In my opinion, we should use some "kind of statue" categories to put information in this tag.

For example in the current wiki page we have:

- statue=virgin (Mary)

- statue = saint

- statue = buddha

In fact these three statues have something in common, they are linked to religion !

So "statue=religion" would be better than "statue=buddha"

Buddha should be in the name=*

And in the future, "statue=religion" might be refined with "religion=*" and maybe even more information.

Research

So I tried to find "kinds of statues" based as much as possible on artistic criteria.

For example "statue=equestrian" wasn't very hard to find because it's a well-documented style of statue.

So you will find below:

1/ A table which is a summary with all "statue=*" tags with a small comment.

2/ Followed by three tables with visual examples for artworks, memorials and monuments.

Good reading !

Types de monuments

FR

Attention !

Pour ce qui concerne les parcs commémoratifs.

Le fait qu'un parc porte le nom d'une personnalité ou d'un événement historique ne suffit pas à en faire obligatoirement un parc commémoratif. Il doit avoir été structurellement et architecturalement conçu ou aménagé dans un but commémoratif. De plus pour être monumental il doit s'étendre sur une certaine superficie. S'il est de taille réduite il faudra plutôt envisager d'utiliser historic=memorial. (Voir les exemples ci-dessous)

Types de monuments

Il est possible de définir une douzaine de types différents de «monuments » commémoratifs :

Arc de triomphe Bâtiment commémoratif Buste Butte Colonne Croix

Obélisque Parc Sculpture Statue Structure architecturale Tour ...

Les hauteurs des exemples ci-dessous sont données en mètres. (sans celles des socles / piedestaux pour les statues)
