- BRONZE MODEL OF THE VENDôME COLUMN
BRONZE MODEL OF THE VENDôME COLUMN ON A BLACK MARBLE BASE18 1/4 x 5 1/2 x 5 1/ 2in.
Note: The Vendôme column was erected from 1806-1810 to celebrate Napoleon's victory at Austerlitz, the bronze facing of the Vendome column is made from the 1,100 Russian and Austrian cannons captured during the battle. it is directly inspired by Trajan's column. The original figure surmounting the column was that of Napoleon in Roman dress. This statue was taken down and melted after Napoleon's fall, but replaced by King Louis Philippe with one showing Napoleon in this classic tricorn hat and redingote. This was later deemed undignified by Napoleon III, and replaced with a copy of the original statue. During the Commune of 1871, at the instigation of painter Gustave Courbet, the column was torn down. Courbet was later ordered to pay for the cost of reassembling the column and he fled into exile to Switzerland. When the column was re-erected in 1874, it was again with a copy of the original statue of Napoleon in Roman imperial dress.
