Description

Manneken Pis translates as - Little man Pee - in Dutch and is a landmark small bronze sculpture in Brussels standing apx 61cm high. It depicts a naked little boy urinating into a fountain's basin. It was designed by Hiëronymus Duquesnoy the Elder and put in place in 1618 or 1619.
Why you may ask is this famous. There are many stories about the origins of the statue.
One story tells of a wealthy man son who went missing. The merchant formed a search party until the boy was found happily urinating in a small garden. The merchant - as a gift of gratitude to the locals who helped out during the search - had the fountain built. Well - I can imagine the look on their faces when the gift was unveiled.
