Antoine Coysevox’s Statuette of French King Louis XIV Acquired for Rennes

Published on , by La Gazette Drouot

The bronze statuette worth €2.37M is a version of a statue of the king on a horse which was in Rennes from 1726-93, when it was melted down to make canons. In a British aristocratic collection for years, it has now been acquired for the City of Rennes with the support of the State and the patronage of the Norac Group.
