Monument to Lado Gudiashvili

The Lado Gudiashvili Monument in Tbilisi is a bronze statue dedicated to the famous 20th century Georgian artist Lado Gudiashvili. The author of the sculpture is Georgian sculptor Juna Mikatadze. The monument was erected in the park behind the Kashveti Church, not far from the place where the artist himself lived and worked. Depicted at the moment of his return from Paris to Tbilisi, the sculpture shows the artist with his hand resting on a fence column, symbolizing his connection with his home, where he was to spend the rest of his life. This work highlights the significance of Gudiashvili's contribution to Georgian art, including painting the walls of the Kashueti Church in 1947. There is also an exhibition center named after him nearby, offering a deeper insight into his work. The Lado Gudiashvili monument is an important cultural attraction for those interested in the history of Georgian art and its classics.
