Statue of Michel Ney, Bronze military memorial statue at avenue de l'Observatoire, France.
The bronze statue depicts Marshal Michel Ney in a commanding military stance, holding a sword and standing atop a stone pedestal with inscriptions.
After Napoleon's defeat and Ney's execution in 1815, public demand led to the monument's creation, with its unveiling taking place on December 7, 1853.
François Rude's sculpture represents French military valor through the figure of Marshal Ney, recognized by Napoleon Bonaparte as a distinguished commander.
The statue stands at the intersection of avenue de l'Observatoire and Boulevard Montparnasse, accessible via multiple public transportation options in Paris.
The monument marks the exact location where Marshal Ney faced execution by firing squad, transforming a site of tragedy into a symbol of remembrance.
