According to Antoine COYSEVOX (1640–1720), second half of the 19th century Mercury riding Pegasus Patinated bronze, signed on the base The caduceus is missing H. 40 L. 35 P. 13 cm Our bronze is a replica of one of the two equestrian pairs commissioned by Jules Hardouin-Mansart (1646–1708) in 1698 from Coysevox to adorn the Abreuvoir basin in Marly Park. These originals, delivered in 1702 in Carrara marble, are now housed at the Louvre (Paris) (inv. MR 1822 and 1824) (fig. 3). Their purpose was to glorify the sovereign. Mercury, the god of commerce, symbolizes the benefits of a return to peace, while Pegasus trampling on trophies of war illustrates the king’s military might. Among these weapons, the allegory depicted on the shield represents the accession of Louis XIV’s grandson, the Duke of Anjou, to the Spanish throne.
