History, Bronze statue in Champ de Mars, Paris, France

The female allegory statue represents History inscribing the centenary, created by sculptor Émile Chatrousse in a neoclassical style.

Dating from 1878, this bronze artwork reflects the French Third Republic period when allegorical monuments served to convey national values and ideals.

The monument connects with French academic traditions of the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture, emphasizing classical mythology and historical themes.

Located at the northeastern corner of Champ de Mars park, near École Militaire, visitors can access the statue through Metro stations École Militaire or La Motte-Picquet.

The statue features meticulous details on the figure's draped clothing and holds historical recording instruments, demonstrating late 19th-century French bronze casting techniques.
