Gloria Victis, Marius-Jean-Antonin Mercié.
By the way… I fell in love with this sculpture while I was there. I took about 1000 pictures of it but none of them were very good so here it is.

I went to go visit the National Gallery today and basically nearly went into an art coma. Anyway, here is a painting by one of my favorite artists!
