> Hercule aidant Atlas à supporter le globe terrestre by Michel Anguier. I thought this was some guy getting ready to slap down another, but it tilte translates to something like Hercules helps Atlas hold up the earth. Still looks like someone about to get a whoopin' to me.
> Captives by Martin van den Bogaert (Desjardins). The sculptures are called 1) Captives, known as Holland, 2) Captives, known as Brandenburg, 3) Captives known as Empire, & 4) Captives, known as Spain. It collection also includes a number of helmets, shields, and other accessories. Originally placed around the pedestal of the pedestrian statue of Louis XIV of the Place des Victoires, these captives represent the nations defeated at the Peace of Nimègue (1679). (The Empire -an old and stooping man- Spain -young, his eyes raised to heaven- Brandenburg -bearded and wearing a bonnet- and Holland -a naked middle-aged man). Each one also expresses a different sentiment in the trial of captivity: revolt, hope, resignation and despondency. The models were executed in 1682. The bronze trophies were added after the contract of March 9, 1685.
