Henri IV statue, Paris, France

Bronze equestrian statue of King Henri IV of France, at the end of the Pont Neuf, Paris, France. The statue was erected on the death of the King in 1610, although the original was melted down during the French Revolution and replaced with this copy in 1818. In the background is the La Samaritaine department store, first opened 1869, built by Frantz Jourdain and Henri Sauvage, on the Quai du Louvre. It was constructed and reworked 1883-1933 in Art Nouveau and Art Deco style, and its glass roof and Art Deco facade were listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Propery in 1990, as part of the Banks of the Seine.
