Gilded Arc de Triomphe, Paris
11-1/2″ high, 1887
gilded bronze & black marble
Remy
The most widely reproduced monument in Paris, the Arc de Triomphe is extremely rare in gilded bronze, as is work of this maker, Remy. Patterned on Rome’s Arch of Titus, the Arc may be paired with the Vendome Column, based on Trajan’s column, as evidence of Napoleon’s visions of empire.
