Alexander Fighting, Marble statue in Tuileries Garden, Paris, France
The Alexander Fighting statue, measuring 1.95 meters in height and 2 meters in width, stands in the Grand Carre section of Tuileries Garden.
Charles-François Lebœuf created this neoclassical sculpture in 1836, depicting Alexander the Great in a combat position during the reign of Louis-Philippe I.
The statue represents the intersection of French artistic tradition and ancient Greek history through its portrayal of Alexander the Great in battle.
