The Equestrian Statue of King Louis XIV is a sculpture designed and partially executed by the Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini, who was originally brought to France to design a new facade of the Louvre, a portrait bust, and an equestrian statue. Bernini first discussed the project while in France in the mid-1660s, but it did not start until later in the decade, when back in Rome. It was not completed until 1684 and then shipped to Paris in 1685. Louis XIV of France was extremely unhappy with the end result and had it placed in a corner of the gardens of the royal palace at Versailles. Soon after, the sculpture was modified by François Girardon and altered into an equestrian sculpture of the ancient Roman hero Marcus Curtius.

  • La statue équestre de Louis XIV sous les traits de Marcus Curtius, réalisée par le Bernin et François Girardon, est une statue équestre représentant à l'origine le roi Louis XIV, et se trouvant dans l’orangerie du château de Versailles depuis 2004. Deux copies en ont été faites, l'une au palais du Louvre et l'autre à la pièce d'eau des Suisses. (fr)
  • A estátua equestre do Rei Luís XIV é uma escultura final projetada e executada parcialmente pelo artista italiano Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Bernini discutiu o projeto na França em meados da década de 1660, mas só o iniciou mais tarde quando voltou a Roma. Ela só foi concluída em 1684, sendo enviada para Paris no ano seguinte. Luís XIV ficou extremamente insatisfeito com o resultado final e a colocou em um canto dos jardins do palácio real de Versalhes. Posteriormente, a obra foi modificada por e alterada em uma escultura equestre do antigo herói romano Métio Cúrcio. Um catálogo, cuja fonte cita a Biblioteca Nacional da França, erroneamente identifica a escultura como sendo criada por Pietro Bernini. (pt)
  • La statua equestre di Luigi XIV è una scultura disegnata e in parte realizzata dall'artista italiano Gian Lorenzo Bernini, originariamente convocato in Francia per disegnare la nuova facciata del Louvre e che venne poi invece incaricato di realizzare per il sovrano francese un busto e una statua equestre, appunto. Il primo progetto per la statua Bernini lo abbozzò in Francia alla metà degli anni sessanta del Seicento, ma iniziò a lavorarvi solo nel decennio successivo quando fece ritorno a Roma. L'opera venne completata solo nel 1684 e poi spedita a Parigi nel 1685. Luigi XIV di Francia si dimostrò totalmente insoddisfatto del risultato finale, tanto che la fece porre in un angolo remoto dei giardini di Versailles. Poco dopo, la scultura venne modificata da François Girardon e alterata a f (it)
