FR On peut voir cette statue du pape Jean-Paul II à l'entrée de l'Eglise du Saint Esprit, rue Espariat, à Aix en Provence.
Sa taille semble juste un peu en dessous de sa taille réelle.

Jean-Paul II
Karol Józef Wojtyla est un prêtre polonais, évêque puis archevêque de Cracovie, cardinal, élu pape catholique le 16 octobre 1978 sous le nom de Jean-Paul II
En tant que pape, il s'oppose à l'idéologie communiste et par son action, notamment en Pologne, favorise la chute du bloc de l'Est. Sa volonté de défense de la dignité humaine le conduit à promouvoir les droits de l’homme. Il améliore sensiblement les relations du catholicisme avec les juifs, les orthodoxes, les anglicans et les musulmans. Il est à l’origine de la première réunion internationale inter-religieuse d’Assise en 1986, réunissant plus de 194 chefs de religion.
Son pontificat, pendant lequel il parcouru plus de 129 pays, a duré 26 ans, 5 mois et 18 jours et est à ce jour le troisième plus long de l’histoire catholique après ceux de saint Pierre et Pie IX.

His size seems just a little below his actual size.

It significantly improves Catholicism's relations with Jews, Orthodox, Anglicans and Muslims. He was at the origin of the first international inter-religious meeting in Assisi in 1986, bringing together more than 194 religious leaders.
His pontificate, during which he visited more than 129 countries, lasted 26 years, 5 months and 18 days and is to this day the third longest in Catholic history after those of Saint Peter and Pius IX.
