EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the pedestal of a statue of Louis XIV, created by the talented artist Antoine Coysevox in 1687. Titled "The Angel of France Expelling the Heretics" this bronze masterpiece can be found at the Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France. In this particular section of the sculpture, we are presented with an awe-inspiring scene depicting the angelic figure of France expelling heresy. The angel stands tall and proud, holding a shield adorned with religious symbols such as lightning rods and a crucifix. With determination in her eyes and strength in her stance, she symbolizes the unwavering faith and devotion to Catholicism during Louis XIV's reign. The Virgin Mary is also depicted alongside the angel, emphasizing their joint effort to drive out any form of heretical beliefs that threatened French society at that time. This relief beautifully captures both religious fervor and baroque aesthetics through its intricate details and dramatic composition. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured by www. bridgemanimages. com, we are transported back to an era where art played a significant role in promoting religious unity and reinforcing royal authority. It serves as a testament to Coysevox's exceptional talent as well as his contribution to French cultural heritage.
