This masterpiece of Japanese art, intended to celebrate the harmony of nature, has had many iterations. Claude Monet, Takashi Kawamata, Hergé and Jean-Michel Othoniel all pay homage to the Great Wave off Kanagawa. It's an image that has become increasingly menacing, constantly reminding us of our own insignificance.

What is most striking about the statue is its wings. Choreographer Loïe Fuller and artist Yves Klein celebrate its flight, while artists Raphael Denis and Céline Robbe see it as a symbol of defeat.
