Arc De Triomphe And Vendôme Column, Bronze, 19th Century

About the Item

Bronze reduction with a brown patina, on a black marble base of 2 of the most emblematic monuments of Paris: Arc de Triomphe and Vendôme Column The Arc de Triomphe was built on the initiative of Napoleon I, following the victory of Austerlitz, in 1806, so that its victorious troops, like the Roman armies, returned to Paris under a triumphal arch. His project will be taken up by his successors, to become today a historical symbol The Vendôme Column was also erected on the orders of Napoleon I in 1806: inspired by Trajan's column in Rome, it is in its original form topped by a statue of Napoleon I as Caesar. Under the July Monarchy, in 1833, this statue was removed and replaced by a representation of Napoleon as a "little corporal", dressed in a frock coat. Napoleon III had it replaced in 1863 to replace a statue similar to the original The column proposed here presents Napoleon as a corporal Good general condition, chips and stains on the marble, wear and tear over time Arc de Triomphe, Height 20cm 19 x 12cm Vendôme Column, height 27 cm 9.5 x 9.5 cm
