This statue, commissioned by the Duc d'Antin in 1725, is the counterpart to Louis XV's Jupiter, first placed in the park of the Château de Petit-Bourg, then in the bosquet du Dauphin at Versailles in 1736, and finally in the park of the Grand Trianon in 1776. Seized during the French Revolution, it is now in the Louvre (MR 1813; N 15422).
