The Introduction of Mercury Riding Pegasus Marble Sculpture:
Antoine Coysevox was commissioned in 1698 to honor a group of two equestrian subjects to the glory of the king. Ths Mercury Riding Pegasus sculpture was made from marble in 1701-2, placed on either side of the upper part of the horse pond, at the entrance to Marley Park. They were moved to the western entrance of Tuileries Gardens in 1719 and replaced by replicas in 1986.
The horse in this Mercury Riding Pegasus marble sculpture has a pair of wings, which is the image of a flying horse, symbolizing the king’s peace and wartime prestige. Mercury rides on this flying horse, wearing a laurel wreath and an olive branch of fame statue, sounding the trumpets of truth to proclaim the king’s war power. Pegasus (a symbol of poetry) is guided by Mercury, the divine messenger, and the god of trade. The trophy under the horse he raised included a shield evoking the heir to the Spanish throne, and Minerva (Goddess of War) showed the Spanish people a portrait of Philip V.
