Versailles Honour Gate

At the main entrance of the Palace of Versailles, known as the Honour Gate, two prominent sculptures flank the entrance:

• North Side: Victory of France over the Empire by Gaspard Marsy.
• South Side: Victory of France over Spain by François Girardon.

These allegorical statues depict France’s triumphs and are situated near the Honour Gate, which separates the Honour Courtyard from the Place d’Armes.

Additionally, two angelic statues adorn the first gate, positioned atop the guard posts. These figures contribute to the grandeur of the entrance, though specific details about their creators are not readily available.

While these sculptures feature female figures, they are allegorical representations rather than depictions of specific individuals. If you have a particular statue in mind, providing more details or context would enable a more precise identification.
