Samuel is a figure who, in the narratives of the Hebrew Bible, plays a key role in the transition from the biblical judges to the United Kingdom of Israel under Saul, and again in the monarchy's transition from Saul to David. He is venerated as a prophet in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In addition to his role in the Jewish Bible/Old Testament, Samuel is mentioned in Jewish rabbinical literature, in the Christian New Testament, and in the second chapter of the Quran. He is also treated in the fifth through seventh books of Antiquities of the Jews, written by the Jewish scholar Josephus in the first century. He is first called "the Seer" in 1 Samuel 9:9.

Peter the Great was the Czar of Russia from 1672 until 1725, during which time he reformed the country on multiple levels. He is widely recognized as one of the most significant leaders of his era as well as one of the most important leaders in all of Russian history. In 1717, he visited Antwerp and stayed at St. Michael’s Abbey, which resided near the area where the Monument to Peter the Great now stands.

The endeavor to create this piece was begun and was also supported by the Antwerp-based firm Art Group International group in the late 1990s. The organization wanted to strengthen the cultural ties between Antwerp and Russia after the fall of communism. Their efforts would lead to the piece being unveiled in 1998.

Created by Georgy Frangulyan, the sculpture depicts a larger-than-life Peter the Great posing in triumph. The statue stands on a pedestal that rises up from the ground and features a large compass. At the very top are two angels along with very small version of the coats of arms of both Antwerp and Russia. The pedestal says “Peter the Great set his foot here in 1717” in both Dutch and Russian.

At the base of the statue is a memorial to Alexei Navalny.
Navalny was the loudest critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin. He crusaded against official corruption and staged massive anti-Kremlin protests. He was poisoned with the Soviet-era nerve agent Novichok while flying from Moscow to Siberia in 2020 and treated in Germany. Russia has denied any involvement. Navalny died in a Russian prison.
