Louvre Part 16: The Marly Horses

The Marly horses, sometimes included in what some call the Louvre's famous four. They originally stood on the Champs d'Elysée, but were replaced with replicas and moved to the Cour Marly. The only true Marly horse is in the first picture, but the others that were in the courtyard I included in the post.

The real Marly horse.

The others.



Louvre Part 14: Cour Marly

In one of the wings, the Richelieu I think, is the Cour Marly, a glass topped courtyard which houses the Marly horses. I have quite a few pictures of this so this post and the next will be for the courtyard, and the third for the horses.
