EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the re-establishment of the Statue of Henri IV on Pont Neuf, Paris, on 25th August 1818. Painted by Hippolyte Lecomte, this oil on canvas artwork measures 79x114 cm and is housed in the prestigious Château de Versailles in France. The statue's significance lies not only in its artistic beauty but also in its historical context. Originally erected four years after Henri IV's death, it was unfortunately melted down during the revolution. However, thanks to a collective effort and determination to preserve history, it was later re-made and reinstated at its rightful place. In this image, we witness a grand occasion filled with excitement and anticipation. The bridge serves as a majestic backdrop for an arch that symbolizes strength and resilience. A crowd gathers around to witness this momentous event as spectators eagerly look on. This celebration marks not only the return of an iconic equestrian monument but also pays homage to King Henry IV himself - known as one of France's most beloved monarchs. The construction ceremony brings together people from all walks of life who share a common appreciation for art, history, and heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph print, we are reminded of our duty to honor our past while looking towards a brighter future. It serves as a testament to human perseverance and reminds us that even after tumultuous times, beauty can be restored once again.
