EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Triumphant Monarch: Louis XIV's Plaster Triumphal Arch in Faubourg St Antoine, Paris (1670) 2.. Every French king cherished the honor of having an Arc de Triomphe erected in their name, and King Louis XIV was no exception. This historical relic, a plaster triumphal arch, is a testament to the grandeur and majesty of the Sun King's reign. Located in the Faubourg St Antoine district of Paris, this magnificent structure was not constructed from stone but rather from plaster, a testament to the artistic ingenuity of the time. The arch, which dates back to 1670, was a symbol of the triumphs and victories of Louis XIV. The intricate carvings and ornate details on the arch reflect the opulence and grandeur of the French monarchy during this period. The arch, though not as famous as its more renowned counterpart, the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel and the Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile, is a significant historical artifact that provides a glimpse into the rich history of France and its monarchs. The Triumphal Arch in Faubourg St Antoine stands as a reminder of the events and celebrations that marked the reign of Louis XIV. Its presence in the district, which was known for its artistic and cultural significance during the Ancien Régime, further emphasizes its historical importance. This plaster arch, though not as enduring as its stone counterparts, remains a valuable piece of French history that continues to captivate and inspire visitors to Paris. 3.
