Colbert statue, Cour Napoleon, Louvre, Paris, France

AR9183661

Equestrian statue of Louis XIV (1638-1715) in the Cour Napoleon, Louvre, Paris, France. The statue is a copy in lead, 1988, of original statue at Versailles, by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, (1598-1680). Louis XIV invited Bernini to Paris in 1665 to design a new wing of the Louvre in which he subsequently lost interest, but Bernini did design this sculpture of Louis as a Roman Emperor, resplendent on horseback. It was the idea of the architect of the Grand Louvre, I M Pei to place a copy of the statue in the Cour Napoleon, in the sightline of the Champs Elysees. It was placed there before the pyramid was built. .
