Chariot of Victory (Char de la Victoire), 19th Century
Domenech and Pfeffer
Cast Bronze
Fine Art Ordinance Obligation
A leading producer of commemorative and inspirational statuary in later 19th-century France, Domenech and Pfeffer are perhaps best known for this depiction of a charioteer driving a biga (an ancient Roman two-horse chariot) over hilly terrain - a classical trope in this case not referencing a mythological figure or story, but symbolizing a concept.
