Model for the Equestrian Statue of Louis XIV 1692 Francois Girardon 1628-1715

The monument to Louis XIV was erected in 1699 on the Place Vendome in Paris, but was destroyed during the Revolution, in September 1792, with only a few fragments now in the Louvre. It is only through the various surviving models that we can gain some idea of the appearance of the monument. Dressed as a Roman emperor, Louis XIV is seated astride his horse. Classical reminiscences and the idealization characteristic of the academic schools are combined with exaggerated solemnity and a glorification of the man who was known as the 'Sun King'.

Royal city at Fatehpur Sikri

Akbar was illiterate himself but took a strong interest in literature, religion and the arts. He was a tolerant ruler. This building is an example of the blending of Islamic & Hindu elements. It was built after his son, for whom he had prayed to the Sufi saints, was born. Made up of palaces, formal courtyards, reflecting pools, tombs, harems and a huge mosque.
