Square Saint-Germain with its stately chestnut tree and its fountain of the volunteers of 1830. This fountain in memory of the Mons warriors from 1830 originally stood on the place Régnier-au-Long-Col and was festively unveiled on 1 June 1930, on the occasion of 100 years of the Belgian revolution, by Mayor Victor Maistriau.

“Saint Waudru and her daughters visiting the prisoners” Location of the work: rue du Chapter, 2 - 7000 Mons Uniting the past with the present, uniting classical art and contemporary art is the ambition of Andrea Ravo Mattoni in this work dedicated to Saint Waudru. To create a dialogue between the past and the present, the artist combines academic learning techniques and the use of spray, classic works and accessible supports. The project can be summarized as follows: reproducing classical paintings on large walls, visible to all. Each chosen work has a precise link with the territory where it is reproduced and thus becomes an opportunity to reestablish the dialogue between classicism and contemporary territory. The utopia that is emerging is that of a large open-air art gallery, with works which, until now, were exhibited and "locked" in the rooms of the largest museums in the world. For this project in Mons, I decided to paint on a large wall the work of Antoine Van Ysendick, "Sainte Waudru and her daughters visiting the prisoners". Saint Waudru is the holy protector of the City and the work is also located in the Collegiate Church opposite the wall. It seemed obvious to me to highlight this masterpiece. Bron: StreetArtCities

The building, completed in 1952, was demolished in 2013 and the entire yard has since been renovated to make way for a new station designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. Completion originally planned for 2015 to mark the celebration of Mons as European Capital of Culture in that year has still not been completed.
