Catalogue Note
La composition d'Henri IV est dérivée du bronze monumental de la place Dauphine, réalisé d'après le modèle de Giambologna (1529-1608) et Pietro Tacca (1577-1640). Celle de Louis XIV s'inspire grandement du modèle réalisé par Simon Hurtelle (1648-1724) et Pierre Mazeline (1633-1708) pour le monument équestre de Montpellier.
