Harmony Triumphing over Discord, Bronze quadriga sculpture at Grand Palais, France
The sculpture depicts a figure standing in a chariot drawn by four horses, positioned at the southeast corner of the Grand Palais building.
Georges Récipon created this monumental sculpture for the Grand Palais during its construction for the 1900 Universal Exhibition in Paris.
The sculpture represents the concept of harmony defeating discord through its composition of balanced forms and controlled movement in bronze.
Visitors can observe the sculpture from multiple vantage points along Avenue Winston Churchill or while crossing the Pont Alexandre III.
The sculpture underwent a color transformation from its intended dark brown finish to a bluish-green patina to match the building's architecture.
