Sculpture Saturday #13
This equestrian statue of Louis XIII is made from marble and was done Jean-Pierre Cortot (1821). It’s been on duty in the centre of Square Louis-XIII (Place des Vosges) since 1825, replacing an earlier statue, commissioned by Armand Jean du Plessis de Richelieu which was destroyed during the French Revolution.

Seeing this makes me want to visit Paris. Maybe it will be safe to travel in 2021.

I hope Louis survives the pulling down frenzy.
