1. Introduction

Another copy of the statue can be found in Bordeaux, France, where it faces Saint André’s Cathedral. Mercié designed this sculpture following France’s defeat in the Franco-Prussian War. He intended to honor those French soldiers who had fallen in the conflict, especially his friend, the artist Henri Regnault (1843–1871).
