专家说明

Antoine Coysevox's colossal marble equestrian groups of Fame and Mercury were executed between 1701 and 1702 during the reign of Louis XIV and originally commissioned to adorn the ornamental horse pond at Marly. In 1719, however, they were replaced with Guillaume Coustou's horses and subsequently moved to the entrance of the Tulieries gardens, Paris.
