I always get excited when I see a magnificent structure adorned with a quadriga, which is typically shown as a chariot powered by four horses and driven by a Greek or Roman figure that represents victory or some other meaning. So image my delight when I saw the Grand Palais has two copper statues. They are known collectively as Récipon Quadrigas. This one, which commands the sky near the Seine, stands for “harmony triumphing over discord.”
