The Marly Horses: Victory over the Present

Sculptures series

 The "Sculptures" series is designed to inform our perception of seminal works of art from different periods. In each episode, a sculpture from the museum is situated in its historical context and observed from all sides in its three-dimensionality.

Director(s): Martin Fraudreau

The sculptures of horses by Coysevox and Coustou are famous for their artistry—but also for the prestigious places they have graced with their presence: the royal Château de Marly, Place de la Concorde, and the Musée du Louvre.
