Originally placed around the pedestal of the pedestrian statue of Louis XIV of the Place des Victoires, the captives represent the nations defeated at the Peace of Nimègue in 1678. The” Captive representing Spain” has his eyes raised to heaven expressing hope. The models of the captive nations were cast in bronze in 1682. The bronze trophies were added to the pedestrian statue after the contract of March 9, 1685.

This blog is a refugee and a survivor of the Great Tumblr Inquisition of December 17th, 2018. I am gay artist, who received training at the Rhode Island School of Design, and now, a retired high-end fine art framer living in Maryland, USA. My interests and studies in life run a wide gamut from art to history and from the scientific to the esoteric. I have been building this blog of images and texts for the last eight years. My wish is that my posts pique the interest of viewers and encourage them to experience more.
