To propagate the image of royal power in the provinces, in the 1680s/1690s Louis XIV commissioned a series of equestrian statues in his likeness from the Academy's leading sculptors. In 1688, the Maréchal de VILLEROY, governor of Lyon, commissioned Martin van den BOGAERT (known as DESJARDINS) to create the royal monument as part of the new layout of the Place Louis-le-Grand (now Place Bellecour) in the French capital. Bellecour) in the capital of Gaul. DESJARDINS was at the peak of his already rich career: an Academician since 1671, he was one of the sculptors responsible for the grand decors at Versailles. Here, he relied on the drawings and instructions of François Mansart, First Architect of the King's Buildings, to design a monument which, after many ups and downs, was not inaugurated until 1713. Our equestrian statuette shows a number of variations from this famous DESJARDINS model, in particular the fact that the horse raises its right foreleg rather than its left.
