Over the centuries, most of the sculptures were lost or destroyed. The remaining sculptures suffered the ravages of time and the elements. The surviving sculptures were\u00c2\u00a0restored during the 19th century and, at that time, many of the inscriptions were changed and are now incorrect.<\/p>\n<p>The sculptures Flora (a personification of Spring), Jesie\u0144 (Fall, personified by Baccus, the god of wine), Zima (Winter), and Wenus (Venus) are shown here. The sculpture of Wenus was created in the 19th century, much later than most.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6199\" style=\"width: 419px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stephendanko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/Flora.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6199\" class=\"size-large wp-image-6199 \" title=\"Flora\" src=\"https:\/\/stephendanko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/Flora-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Flora\" width=\"409\" height=\"614\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6199\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flora<\/p><\/div>\n<p>SOURCE: Flora (Saxon Garden, Warsaw, Poland).
